Summit Street and Waterloo

Schuyler C. Baldwin - 1870s

The view looks north along Summit St. where it meets Waterloo at the point in front of the quonset shaped building. Just beyond the intersection Waterloo crosses Fulton St. A triangular area is fenced where the two streets meet. The street entering Summit on the right is probably Island, now called Weston. A boardwalk runs the length of Summit St. on the edge of the unpaved road.
