      Thanks, Jeff. The building is a bit longer on the right but I tried to get as much of the building in the shot as I could.

    I can see that Coney Island Funny Land opened way back in 1935. But I don't know the name. Could Coney Island Funny Land have had a different name back then?

      Not that I'm aware of Hels. In the link I provided, the heritage information says it was restored in 1995 to the original design.

    I bet Robert Brown never expected this would be a heritage site.
