Bob's Service Station, 1938

Wolcott Street (left, foreground ) between Otsego Street (right) and Dwight Street (left). At the right foreground is Lorraine Street. In the background is Dwight Street going off at a tangent. The garage beyond the gas station is on the N.W. corner of Dwight and Sullivan Streets. The steeple seen in the background is a part of the Roman Catholic Church of the visitation.

That triangle of land is now a fenced-in grassy area. The entire area behind it is part of the Red Hook Houses.
