River Street Hoboken, N.J.
River Street was the first street off the water. The North German Lloyd Piers are on the right. 330 River Street: the sign above the awning reads in part "Grossman - 330- can't read - Centennial Beer". On the Awning itself "Wine, Liquors, Cigars". Columbia at 332 has a similar sign based on which it may be connected to 330. | |

Posted 1905. This card is labeled "Fifth Avenue opp. Park Entrance Hoboken, N. J." However, it is clearly the same row of buildings labeled "River Street" above. See close up below. This immage shows that the building to the left of the "Columbia" building was an hotel. Also to the right of the Columbia building is another beer hall with the sign "Excelsior Lager Beer". | |

| This is a close up of the above postcard showing the entrance to 332 with the same ----
Centennial Beer sign over the awning. although in this case the awning is gone and just the supports are sceen.
The "Columbia 332" sign is the same in both images.
So is this River Street or not? The was no fifth "Avenue" in Hoboken as far as I know.

Mike Korman kindly pointed out that although this postcard
was labeled
"Seventh and Washington" it is really 11th Street. Mike says,
I believe that it is actually 11th and Washington. You can tell by the "islands" in-between the east and westbound lanes of 11th Street. Plus you can see the old Wallace School down on Willow Avenue. I went to that school and grew up at 12th and Washington."Comparing the buildings on the right side of the street in this postcard with the two previous postcards indicates that Mike is correct. | |
