Can’t help on the original location. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen a description of the location. Regarding your first photo. The large building at the top center of the photo is /was the Ben Riley’s Arrowhead Inn a popular nightclub that was open here until 1940. There were actually a few Ben Riley Arrowhead Inns. First up in Saratoga 1890s, then 177th & Ft Washington Ave in 1908 then move to Riverdale then last one in Yonkers, Tuckahoe Rd. He died in 1944 in a fire where he lived above his Inn in Yonkers. Some of his friends and guests were Diamond Jim Brady, Lillian Russel, W.C.Fields.
