Then and Now: Fulton Ave

Here is a then and now view of Fulton Ave near the new Lloyd Expressway overpass. The highway replaced the old Pennsylvania St and when widened took out the buildings at left which at one time were part of the Sterling Brewery complex. Up the street is the building most people will remember as the brewery which was torn down in 1998. The tower of Fulton Ave School is also visible in the old photo. The tall buildings at the corner of Indiana (101-3 N Fulton and 107-11 N Fulton) are identifiable in both photos. This new overpass was completed just a few years ago.
