Photo Gallery: Sidestreet Scenes
  Taken on the July 1999 walking tour organized by Forgotten-NY's Kevin Walsh. The Hall of Fame is located on the grounds of Bronx Community Cllege in University Heights, atop the huge hill between University and Sedgwick Avenues, due west along East 181st Street from the Grand Concourse. |
  The Hall of Fame is essentially a collonaded
promenade furnished with dozens of busts of famous Americans,
at least those considered famous before the 1960's. Three of
my favorites are here. Dour, scholarly Woodrow Wilson above,
the quintessentially taciturn John Quincy Adams to the left and
old moneybags Alexander Hamilton, of $10 fame, without his wig
to the right of JQA. Always liked Adams, one of my favorite presidents.
He had those cool sideburns. |
