A Historical Look at Ridgewood's Myrtle Avenue

This week on Brownstoner Queens, columnist Kevin Walsh takes us on a historic tour of Ridgewood’s stretch of Myrtle Avenue, one of the lengthiest streets in both Brooklyn and Queens. The avenue’s origins date back to 1835 on a stretch of road that’s now mostly Bedford Avenue.

Learn about how this thoroughfare — along with some of its current landmarks — has changed through the years, over on Brownstoner Queens.
