In the Residential Section of Schenectady, NY

 

The title of this postcard cracked me up. Like “what isn’t the residential section of Schenectady, NY?” At least now-a-days.

But I haven’t a clue where these houses are.

 

GE Panoramic

These two postcards came folded with a couple others. There’s a postmark on the back of one only so I don’t know how they would’ve been mailed, had they been mailed.

Viaduct over Cotton Factory Hollow

 

The old Cotton Factory Hollow Bridge connects Hulett Street in the Hamilton Hill section of Schenectady to Francis Avenue in Mont Pleasant. There’s a new bridge there, well, maybe built in the early 1970’s. I’ll try to find out.

It used to be called (when I was a kid) suicide bridge. I don’t even know if anyone ever committed suicide by jumping off it but when I was a kid, it was scary.
