Day 1081
309 Guyon Avenue
December 15th, 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!

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!
This used to be known as the Carroll House (and still is, to some of us) for the family that owned it.
The property used to extend to Hylan Boulevard, but that portion was sold off (in the i980s or 80s, if memory serves) and is now occupied by recent duplex homes.
When it was still intact, that portion was a well-kept lawn encircled by a hedge. The name “Carroll” was cut into the hedge on the Hylan Boulevard side. There were also gardens close to the house.
