Yesterday I was able to make some time and spend a few hours looking at the microfiche of the WPA photos of all the block and lots on Staten Island, circa 1939.
I was unable to find the exact pictures I went there looking for (I need to do a little more prep work beforehand next time) but I did end up with a great collection of pictures from various areas of the North Shore. Hopefully tonight will see me get them scanned, posted and annotated.
