Then and Now: Monitor Square
29 Jun
Well it’s that time again for another “Then and Now”, brought to you by the Greater Astoria Historical Society!
This week we get to see what Monitor Square looked like in the early 1860′s. Who knew it would end up hosting massive billboards for the entrance of the Midtown Tunnel!
If you like these pictures, feel free to check out some of the other awesome stuff the Historical Society has for sale!
Monitor Square in Hunters Point, where Vernon and Jackson Avenues meet.
Laid out in the early 1860s, this area was once the hub of a new and
growing Hunters Point.

Jackson Avenues faces west as a brand new condominium has risen on Borden
Avenue behind the billboard’s steel latticework.
