East 127th Street

The Museum of the City of New York has a great photo from East 127th Street, just west of Park Avenue. The wide (25’) lot has a wood-framed building, with a bold sign that printing was done on the premises.

At this time, 1932, this part of East Harlem was populated by a number of Scandinavian immigrants from Finland and Sweden in particular. The description from the Museum of the City of New York identifies this location as being near “the Swedish Church”:
