Intimate Sketches of New York

"This view shows the Long Island Railroad station, a row of quaint shops and several large apartment houses (at left) in Kew Gardens, a community named after a district near London. Kew Gardens, Queens, borders on Forest Hills and is adjacent to Richmond Hill. The absence of flat-roofed buildings adds to the picturesqueness of the community, which is only nine and a half miles from the center of Manhattan."
