Description
Black-and-white photo of view looking southeast of factory buildings on Monroe and Jefferson Streets from 10th St.; Veterans Field, Columbus Park, Hoboken, no date, circa 1969-1970.
3-1/4" x 4-3/4" wide print. Photograph taken by donor Jack O'Brien (but not so marked.) Reverse has no modern ink notations by O'Brien.
View southeast from the Heights from north of Tenth Street and south.
Detail 1: At left of center is Columbus Park, Veterans Field (J.F. Kennedy Stadium); the Stevens Administration Building (now Howe Center); and to the right of it (and behind the steeple of St. Matthew Church), the S.C. Williams Library, which had its groundbreaking in March of 1969, is seen in full form. This suggests that image is probably late 1969 or 1970.
Detail 2: Columbus Gardens, public housing project; Hoboken High School (back side on Grand St.) and the Bamboo & Rattan Works (901 Jefferson St.)

This photo is in a group of 23 in this accession which are the same size prints and apparently taken during the same period; none are dated, but automobile models and other elements seen in some images suggest the date range.
