SECOND AVENUE, Astoria, Queens, N.Y., ca. 1890 A wide view of the neighborhood to which the Flanagans moved during the 1850s. This map was made, unfortunately, about 40 years afterwards, and the neighborhood was undoubtedly much changed in the interim. I've added some old street names to the image that were not included in this section. Some time after this map was made, Elm Street was extended eastward two blocks to meet 2nd Avenue. You can see the phantom of the word ST. between 1st and 2nd Avenues, where it was to extend. Close-up of 2nd and Grand. Some street name changes (old to new) Flushing Ave -> Astoria Blvd. Newtown Ave -> same Grand -> 30th Ave Temple -> 30th Road Whitney -> 30th Road Elm -> 30th Drive Jamaica -> 31st av Newtown Ave -> same Cooper -> 27th Street No. Henry -> 28th Street Academy St -> 29th Street Buchanan Place -> 29th Street Marc Place -> 30th Street Carver St -> 30th Street 1st Ave -> Lockwood St -> 30th Street 2nd Ave -> Debevoise St -> 31st Street 3rd Ave -> Lathrop St -> 32nd Street 4th Ave -> Rapelje ave -> 33rd Street Use your browser's back-button to return
