We're looking at the end of Magaw Place. See the door all the way over on the right? Can you see it's open? Enlarge the photograph and dig out your magnifying glass. Okay, the next shot is of that door.

It's not a door into the building, it's, it's, well let me just go inside and see what it is. This is sidewalk level, remember.

I still don't know what it is, but I like it. The sign on the open door back there says No Exit, but that's not exactly true.

Now, looking over the edge of the fence. The sidewalk level fence.


See map.

Hi Mary, I think that I lived in this building as a kid back in the late 1950` early 60`s. I remember that the door/gate was I think the entrance to the apartment where the super lived, and that door with the no exit may have been for services. He was a lovely old black guy, I think his name was Amos.
Thanks for the memory.......Joe

You're very welcome. It's great to get a comment like that. Were you allowed in that area when you were a kid?
