# 264 To # 270 Smith Street back in 1928



The same stretch of Smith Street in 2008


Long, long before Smith Street was known as 'Restaurant Row', the street seems to have been a great place to shop. The little stretch pictured above in 1928 was home to a hat store, a produce store, a grain merchant and a hardware store. These days, two of the storefronts have been turned into residences. The others currently house the lovely wine store 'Smith & Vine' and the other is now Café Doré, a restaurant.
The vintage photo was sent to me by wonderful Carroll Gardens resident Alexandrea, who is kind enough to share it here with all of us. Thanks!
