Brooklyn Waterfront near Belt Parkway
c. 1952

A sepia-toned photograph depicting a wooden boardwalk leading through a row of dilapidated, weathered houses. The scene is devoid of people, and the grass around the houses appears overgrown. Utility poles line the path, and the houses show signs of neglect, with peeling paint and some visible damage. The perspective is from the boardwalk itself, looking down the path between the houses.
