It was held in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in the United States from 1952 until its sale to an anonymous buyer in December 2013.

East Wind Over Weehawken is a street scene of a "curiously mismatched collection of four houses"[1] rendered in dark, earthy tones.

It includes the gabled house at 1001 Boulevard East at the corner of 49th Street in Weehawken, New Jersey (40°46′43″N 74°00′47″W / +40.7785°N 74.0130°W / +40.7785; -74.0130)[2][3] and was painted during the Great Depression.

The remake, which was created by Brooklyn-based painter Stephen Gardner, depicts the scene as it appears now, with flowers and satellite dishes, and in lighter tones.

[12] It was acquired by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts directly from the gallery in 1952, fifteen years before the death of the painter, at a very low price.
