View of Queens Boulevard
 


 

 Looking east along Queens Boulevard from the roof of the Packard Building. The gleaming new elevated structure is just about finished but not yet opened.  Queens Boulevard in the foreground is a two-lane road with a trolley track
on either side. All of Sunnyside lies open and undeveloped all the way out
to Woodside in the distance; within ten short years the whole area
would be built up.
(Circa 1917)
