I live on Pell Terrace and have a wall from the Motor Parkway as part of my backyard

Michael- We jokingly call those bridge remains behind Pell the ‘Mayan Ruins’

Michael - your east wall of the bridge remnant, is the last of two still standing on Pell Terrace! The west wall was removed recently in 2018
Unfortunately had to travel this past weekend, but would love to know when the archives will be open again for viewing.
I was out of town at a hillclimb, but next time will try to make it. Does Howard’s collection contain theVanderbilt Motoring Log? Helping a friend with a book and wanted to see if Vanderbilt visited the London Crystal Palace Motor show in 1904 as the Baker Torpedo was on display.
Robert-
If you are talking about Vanderbilt’s ‘Log of my Motor’, there is no mention of the 1904 London Crystal Motor show
