Two Early Photographs of the Village of North Pelham
Two photographs contained in the collections of The Office of The
Historian of The Town of Pelham offer wonderful early views of the Village
of North Pelham, likely in the first few years of the 20th century.
Today's Historic Pelham Blog Posting displays these two images.
The image above shows a portion of Fifth Avenue looking from the
northeast toward the southwest. The raised grade of the New Haven Line
railroad tracks can be seen in the distance. On the left is the Town Hall
building that replaced the Town Hall building on Shore Road that served in
that role until New York City annexed portions of Pelham for inclusion in
the Pelham Bay Park.
The image above shows 2nd Street likely in the first few years of the
20th century. The area north of 2nd Street still has the quaint appearance
of farmland with a few scattered farmhouses.
