		Van Siclen Court Group Maker: Albertype Undated Status: Own(RG) Van Sicklen Court, East New York Maker: Art Post Card and Novelty Co. Dated: 1916 Status:Own (BG) This is north of Jamaica Ave.,with the second card showing the early spelling. Oddly, I had poor image of the first card taken from a different angle when I found this one. Note the victorian turret in the distance behind the homes. Note in the first card the reference to "Highland Park Slope". I suspect that was a marketing name at the time.
		Some update photos; the first is of Van Siclen Court in December 2006; a large apartment building replaced that victorian in the background. The shot on the right is a view of Arlington Ave. looking west from Van Siclen.
		Arlington Avenue from Van Sicklen Brooklyn, N.Y. Dated:1911 Maker:Wm. Fick Status:Own (BG) This was a very hard postcard to identify; those nice victorian homes on the corner are long gone, replaced by apartment buildings in the 1930s. You can see what I mean by looking at the 2007 view.
		1967 Anniversary Parade, Arlington and Van Siclen I had some trouble IDing this location because I didn't realize the parades started this far back on Arlington. That's the southwest corner in the background, with my mother pushing younger brother Lou in the carraige. On the right, a 2007 view.
		Van Sicklen Avenue, North from Fulton Street Dated:1911 Maker: Wm. Fick Status: Own (BG) 2005 photo contributed by Neil.
		St. Malachys Church, East New York Dated:Circa 1900 Maker: Wm. Fick Status: Own(BG) We now have a St. Malachy's page. Neil Sullivan provided the 2006 shot. The church was demolished in 2011 and the congregation merged with St. Michael's.
		St. Malachy's, Van Siclen Avenue, fireman's funeral I'm hoping someone recalls this event and can pinpoint a date or the name of the fallen fireman. My own research only turned up one possibility; firefighter Robert Neal died while fighting a blaze at Junius Street in 1961. However I believe these images may be circa 1964.
		St. Malachy's, fireman's funeral The brownstones along Van Siclen are still there today, though we all know St. Malachy's was demolished and a smallplayground is on the site today.
		Van Siclen Avenue, looking south to Atlantic Avenue From our "blizzard" series, the storm was February 7, 1967. At first I recognized nothing in this photograph; the only key was the sign indicating no parking in front of the church. At first I disregarded St. Malachy's because that doesn't look like Atlantic Avenue, but in fact the building on the corner is still there, confirming the orientation. As we know the church is now gone.
