This the west side of the Grand Concourse & E 198th St

The dark line in the middle is the Jerome Ave IRT

Much of the vacant in the back of the picture got used by the NEW DEAL project to build 3 high schools and a college. The area also got used to build the Jerome Park Reservoir whose Italian workers settled down along Villa Ave.

Eventually, the area got used at Hunter College in the Bronx as the temporary home of the United Nations
