Staten Island....or Lovecraft Country?

Staten Island or Arkham? You decide. Is this a run down string of buildings on Sentinel Street or just York Avenue in New Brighton?

Some unnamed street on French Hill in Lovecraft Country, USA or Thompson Street, Stapleton?

Is that Captain Marsh's second wife hidden on the top floor or is this just a house in West New Brighton?
Can you tell I've been rereading a lot (a lot) of Lovecraft and associated stuff lately? I've even dug out Ramsey Campbell's "Cold Print". Obsessed as I am with aged and lost Staten Island, it's Lovecraft's similar obsession that's grabbing me most strongly this time around reading the stories. So this is my little tribute to a man born on the same date as me 76 years earlier.
