Check it out in Street View. I snapped this photo on a brief stroll in northern Long Island City today.
Day 1023
A quaint old holdout
October 18th, 2014
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

~9,954 miles walked
Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
These houses remind me of the childrens’ book “The Little House” by Virginia Lee Burton. A house in the country finds a city slowly growing up around it.
Here’s some of the illustrations:
