arrow Castle Hill Avenue - 177th Street, the Bronx, then & now. NYPL, Scott Heins / Gothamist
Over the past few weeks we ve been digging into the New York Public Library s archives, which includes an expansive digital collection of NYC photographs. For our Dear NYC series, photographer Scott Heins has recreated some of these old photos through his 2020 lens. Upon completing the assignment, Heins reflected on the one constant here: if anything defines New York City, it s change. But as we ve learned, you ll often find pieces of the past fully in tact, even if s under some grime and scaffolding.
Previously, we shared the photos from Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Manhattan; now we re closing things out with The Bronx.
