This overgrown lot on 47th Street between 25th Avenue and Astoria Boulevard South appears to have been, at one time, an ornately landscaped property, with several statues and fountains around the yard. When I first spotted this house the statues in the front yard had toppled and the property looked abandoned. The last time I passed by the statues were gone and the property boarded up. My pictures are from March and November, 2006. I have not been by this area in quite a while, so I do not know how it looks today, but I added Google and Bing images to show how the place looked when the Streetview and Streetside cameras rolled by.
