This is a picture of a postcard from the early 1900s. The Trolley Car is on Ridge Ave going towards Manayunk. The road above the trolley is East River Drive. The body of water at the top center is Gustine Lake. This is where the Recreation Center is now located. The road on the left is Wissahickon Drive. As you can see at one time all three roads connected. The building on the left side is Barnett's. It was a restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor.
