An aerial view of the Hamilton Avenue Ferry house in Red Hook that includes several piers and other waterfront buildings.  The image was taken in 1934 by a Daily Eagle photographer, likely for a story of how the building was condemned and due to be torn down.  The building in a sad state remained standing for many more years, briefly serving as a base for the Coast Guard Auxiliary during World War II.
