Sacred Heart Cathedral?
and the two houses in the front? Are they in Forest Hills?
Where the heck was the photographer standing?
In looking around on Ebay- I have seen some things that were long gone by the time my era came round in Branch Brook Park...
Places I have no memory of....
Rustic Bridge
Fountain
Clarke's Island
Sand Court
Flower Court
not in Branch Brook--- but did anyone ever see Tiffany Falls?
I have never seen the White Lady of Branch Brook personally- but I do recall a story that she was spotted one evening on the bridge over the trolly tracks on 4th Ave- outside the Tennis Courts....
Did anyone actually ever see or play tennis in those Tennis Courts?
Laura, this shot was taken from a building on Orange Street, by Duryea Street, looking north. In front is the old boat house. Above it is the Park Avenue bridge; to the right are Newark High School (later renamed Barringer, then replaced), and yes, the cathedral under construction. Below them is the old reservoir, later the home of the ice skating rink. That road at the bottom is the old road to Jersey City, if I'm not mistaken.
I knew the park from end to end, From 1948 to 1958 we played in just about every inch
of that wonderful park, But I never seen or herd of
Tiffany Falls? Must have been befor my time
Now Tiffany I knew where that was, I walk by the big
buildung every day on my way to work, Newark Wire Cloth co.
