The title of this painting refers to a street in Centerport, Long Island, where Dove lived his last years (1938–46). Although not immediately identifiable as a landscape, the subject is suggested by the verdant and earthy tones. The pale green background also recalls the water of nearby Huntington Harbor. Based on a small watercolor study, as so many of Dove's paintings were, this composition was enlarged and adjusted to its final configuration with the help of a pantograph.
