Here are two photos from the very short block between Broadway and Bennett Avenue.

Somewhere behind this fence is a building with a plaque reading: Rika Breuer Teachers Seminary. Rabbi Joseph Breuer founded the teachers' seminary for girls in the 60's and it was named for his wife, Rika, after she died. Can't discover when she died. This is a small school, a two-year college, with a current enrollment of about 60 students. By the way, its location is listed at being on Bennett Avenue, so this is probably all irrelevant to this photograph. I have no idea what the structure is on this photograph but there it is.

And across the street is this structure which poses only the question, what's the price of gas?
See map.

Sure am glad to have stumbled upon this amazing blog. I was looking for pictures of a Manhattan neighborhood that I know nothing about: Fort George (I would bet a lot of native Manhattanites know little about it too), and your Washington Heights/Fort George photos turned up on Google Images. Those buildings on stilts were mind-boggling! Great blog, great photos, great writing. Inspirational!
PS I know I should have posted this under the Washington Heights/Fort George entry of your blog but its 4.30 am and to tired to find it again in my browser history :-)
Well, forget about day, that comment made my week. Thanks!
Go Mary!
