The plaque is the result of a dispute between the city government and the estate of David Hess, a landlord from Philadelphia who owned the Voorhis, a five-story apartment building. In the early 1910s, the city claimed eminent domain to acquire and demolish 253 buildings in the area in order to widen Seventh Avenue and expand the IRT subway. By 1913, the Hess family had exhausted all legal options. However, according to Ross Duff Wyttock writing in the Hartford Courant in 1928, Hess's heirs discovered that when the city seized the Voorhis the survey had missed a small corner of Plot 55 and they set up a notice of possession. The city asked the family to donate the diminutive property to the public, but they chose to hold out and installed the present, defiant mosaic on July 27, 1922

Anyone know what street this is?
Wherever it is, it obviously had a streetcar running down it at one time, but damn if I know what area of town that could be, and I've been a N.O. resident for 71+ years now.

And his song - Baby, I need you

I had me a Davy Crockett coonskin cap back then, along with Roy Rogers holster and cap gun 6 shooter.
Westerns and frontier type shows dominated the airwaves back in the 50's and into the 60's and as a kid I probably fought more Indians than Custer in my mind........
