Then and Now, Archer-Narragansett

That’s Archer Avenue coming in on an angle on the right side of the older photo. Here at Narragansett, Archer swings over from a southwesterly course and heads due west on the line of 55th Street. In 1946 this neighborhood was mostly undeveloped. But with the Depression and World War II over, get ready for a boom!

Sure has changed, hasn’t it? And with the increased traffic, Archer has been widened a bit and the intersection rechanneled.
