Two photographs contained in the collections of The Office of The Historian of The Town of Pelham offer wonderful early views of the Village of North Pelham, likely in the first few years of the 20th century. Today's Historic Pelham Blog Posting displays these two images.



The image above shows a portion of Fifth Avenue looking from the northeast toward the southwest. The raised grade of the New Haven Line railroad tracks can be seen in the distance. On the left is the Town Hall building that replaced the Town Hall building on Shore Road that served in that role until New York City annexed portions of Pelham for inclusion in the Pelham Bay Park.



The image above shows 2nd Street likely in the first few years of the 20th century. The area north of 2nd Street still has the quaint appearance of farmland with a few scattered farmhouses.
