Captured Moment: The Yeshiva on 16th Avenue

YS GOLD 

This week’s captured moment takes us to the center of Boro Park, to a building that houses a yeshiva as well as another important institution on the lower floors. 

In this picture from 1940, we see a person pushing a pushcart across 16th Avenue, in addition to the vintage cars parked outside. 

Can any of our readers pinpoint the location?

Answer to last week’s captured moment: 

As many of our readers have correctly pointed out, the row of buildings in question is on 13th Avenue between 46th street and 47th Street. The building on the outer edge of the photograph is today Avenue Plaza Hotel.
