Nice find, SC. Since you're out of Brooklyn...

That photograph is looking east from Summit Street between Hicks and Henry, where it turns into to 1st Place.

The property of the church where Tony had his funeral, St Stephen, goes east from between Carroll and Summit.

Joey was in the can then, of course, but I wonder if the other Gallo brothers or anyone else from the crew was there since, besides paying 'respects,' they were like a two minute walk away.

Anastasio was Albert Anastasia's brother.
