This is a post card of kissena lake from 1920. I dont know If this is real or just animation?
I found this old photo dated 1909 in NEWSDAY.com by accident. I also got these two
below at the same time.
It looks like this photo was taken looking south or If you stand by the fence on top, you get the same view. You can see the lake was natural back then. The cement
walls were added in 1943.
I stumbled across this photo of the lake on line.
Since it's  natural (no cement sides), its before 1943,but not by much.
This photo was found with the two above,dated 1909. Two boys fishing in
kissena lake. It looks like its the south end, where the drain is.
