1940’s Tax Photo of 350 Myrtle Avenue. Photo purchased from the NYC Department of Records.

This photo of 350 Myrtle Avenue, between Carlton and Adelphi, dates from 1940.  The photo captures Tony’s Express Storage and Warehouse, the tenant at the time.  At this point, the handsome Romanesque Revival building had been around for 40 years.

Today, Gnarly Vines wine shop calls the space home.  If you pass the building now, you’ll notice the closed-up storefront and boarded-up upper floor windows have been removed.  Also missing today are the Myrtle Avenue trolley tracks in the street and the Elevated train tracks above.
