: Does anyone have or have access to photographs of what once stood on the property of the present St. John's Condos on St. Pauls Ave? There is an arial photo in the Jersey City book of the empty lots where the Summit Plaza buildings now stand but haven't really seen anything before 1960. Ken French's book might have something on that. I remember seeing pictures from the McNulty collection showing what I believe was the Summit Avenue side by Newark Avenue. The images were of small shops with apartments above -- very similar to what's on Newark Avenue today between Five Corners and the Administation Building at 595 Newark Avenue. For much of the sixties the area bordered by the Boulevard, Summit and Newark Avenues was an empty lot. In the early sixties, on the Boulevard across from St. John's Church a nativity scene featuring live animals was set up at Christmas time.
