Delavan and Grant - Then and Now 1936

The view from Delavan Avenue looking at the Grant Street intersection, August 30,1936. There is a grocery/delicatessen at the far left corner and the Gran-Del Pharmacy at the right. The probable business on the near right corner is a service station.

The same view in 2003. The original buildings remain on each of the three corners. A grocery store still occupies the far left corner. The building at right appears to be vacant. The gas station on the corner is closed.
