Ooooh, great photos. Looks like they are all around 1880 -1890. I've identified the locations of almost all of them, so here goes:
(1) "Anderson Street" --- this is taken along the riverbank at or just south of the White Manna, looking north. That's the old metal Anderson Street bridge in the distance.
(2) "F.R. Long" --- probably on Prospect Ave, unsure but the last name could be researched and this house can be identified if someone puts the time into it.
(3) "Golf Club" --- That's an easy one. The Nellie K. Parker School occupies that piece of land, Central Ave between Maple Hill Drive and the Esplanade
(4) "Keoster's Residence" --- judging by the steepness of the hill, this has to be a side street leading up the Summit Ave, from the east. Photo is looking south. This house might be the location of what is now the Methodist Church (Passaic & Summit), or it's Clinton Place leading up to Summit Ave.
(5) "NE View" --- that's the toughest one. Could be Hackensack Ave as a narrow dirt lane, maybe near Bergen Tech. But wasn't the cemetary there at that time. Can anyone help me with this one ?
(6) "Old Ladies Home" --- that's definately on Passaic Street, NW corner of Passaic and Clarendon. It was only torn down 20 years ago, lots of us remember that building. Photo is looking north
(7) "SE View" --- 90% sure this is taken from the vicinity of what is now the Whitehall on Prospect Ave, looking east down Clay Street, which is barely even a dirt road. Amazing. I see part of one house on the left side of the photo. If that's Clay Street, the house in question must be between Third Street and Second Street, on the north side of the street. Good chance that house is still standing, and can be identified. If you click on the photo and enlarge, you'll see that the dirt lane (Clay Street) eventually becomes a street with houses on either side, in the distance. Those houses would be Clay Street between Railroad Ave and Park Street. You'll also see, in the distance on the right, a large structure that must be the Union Street School (Union & Myer). Also adding to the evidence is the next photo, evidently taken from the same spot on the ridge, but looking in a different direction.

"Surroundings" --- This is another easy one, because the Old Ladies Home is in the distance. Click on the photo to enlarge, and you'll see that the building in the distance is definately the Old Ladies Home. This photo was taken from the vicinity of the Whitehall on Prospect Ave, looking north towards the Old Ladies Home. Most of the open fields are the vicinity of James Street, Berry Street, and Stanley Place around what is now Third Street and Second Street. This is an absolutely shocking photo. Basically it shows a good part of what is now the Carver Park neighborhood before it was built. Therefore, that photo has significant historic value. Not shown behind the foliage on the left side of the picture are the many small houses on DeWolfe Place. Those houses on De Wolfe Place were there at that time, in addition to five 2-family houses for factory workers on Prospect Ave, and an enormous 3-story brick Jewelry Factory on the south side of Berry Street between Prospect Ave and what is now Summit. The factory houses were all front on Prospect Ave (SW corner of Berry. They were torn down to build two upscale estates, that have since been converted to office use.)
WOW>>>>>Guys, thanks for digging up these photos and posting them. Get me some more, and I'll identify them too. Bob, can you find a photo of the Jewelry factory from that eBay collection. Are there more photos on the eBay collection, or did you buy them all.
