218 East 67th Street











This past September browsing the internet, I found this photo of my very first home, 218 E. 67th St. in Manhattan (between 2nd & 3rd Aves.).
That this photo even exists is a minor miracle, and the fact I discovered it somewhat more, as I have not been able to relocate the website after much searching. The website was some photo archive with many different locales in New York City.
Judging from the car in the photo, I estimate this to be taken sometime in the 1920s, but that is just a guess on my part.
Another reason I like this photo is its similarity to those taken by Parisian photographer Atget in the early 20th century.
The poor condition of the negative or print adds a gloominess to the building. Was this photographed at dusk? What time of year?

Mrs. Cozic recently undertook a project spending much time and effort (and I do mean much) locating photos of Tratman Avenue and the neighborhood, to compile into a photo album for my birthday this past September.

The result of her efforts were no less than astounding (thanks Sweetie!)and can be viewed at flicker.com (just search Tratman Avenue).
And kudos to fellow Bronx resident Charles for all of HIS efforts processing his many photos to forward to me!
