Brooklyn Back in the Day: Coney Island

We return to our Brooklyn Back in the Day series of photos with this shot of the Bowery in Coney Island from 1911. The caption that comes with it says, "Section of Coney Island amusement area known as Bowery that extended from Steeplechase Park to Feltman's Restaurant; many pedestrians and large sign over street ("Stauch's")." It comes from the Brooklyn Public Library's wonderful collection of historic photos.
