The trellis is one of my favorite things to see on when I visit the Nassau County Museum of Art. I walk the grounds often and enjoy the beauty of the gardens around the trellis. Great spot to read or have a quiet moment.
Handcrafters Gallery was across from the Clocktower upstairs. It had the coolest handmade jewelry and belts and pottery etc. Great place . Ninas Place was on Main St and had the best shoes there was also the best pants store in town - lots of cool corduroy and denim.
Also significant to the Roslyn area: when delegates were polled about the name for the new county, the second choice after Nassau was Bryant County, after the distinguished former Roslyn Harbor resident William Cullen Bryant.
Per the January 1936 edition of "Pencil Point", Henry Johanson was indeed the architect of the Lincoln Building. https://usmodernist.org/PA/PP-1936-01.pdf
I recall Dr. Dohm not so much for his service as a vet, nor my use of same but because of the automobile he drove and parked rear round at the driveway spot to the left ( south side) of his building. It was a 1933 Franklin Olympic 4 door sedan. He bought it new ( most likely at the W, Pase dealership ) Pase had several locations in the NY metro area - one in Huntington where Pase lived and also others ion Brooklyn and N.Y. City.
The Franklin was an air cooled car luxury built in Syracuse, NY from 1902 to 1934. One of the few air cooled cars built in America. Their Olympic model like Dr. Dohm had was a result of the Great Depression - Franklin made the Olympic series car that was another offer to the general public but not quite as costly as its Airman series of cars. ( Charles Lindbergh owned and drove a Franklin and used it to visit his friend in Sands Point , Harry Guggenheim but that is another story) . The Doan car by the time I saw it in the mid 1960s had over 300,000 miles on it. Well worn but still working well . I had a 1931 Franklin with a custom built body on it so was one of the few Franklin owners here on long island that always kept an eye on the Dr.'s car. A teenage girl from Albertson bought Dr. Doan's Olympic Franklin and drove it for several years. It was eventually sold and the last I heard was someplace in southern New England .
The owner/operator of the Blue Spruce Inn was James Tompros, after several heartbreaking l fires the landmark building became uninhabitable. James Tombros move on to become general manager of the Glen Oaks Country Club in Old Westbury.
Excellent article about an important Roslyn building. The Roslyn Landmark Society restored the exterior in 2013, but the interior was left unfinished because of limited funding from The Gerry Trust. This building need now exterior cleaning and finishing the job on the interior. My hope is after the Roslyn Mill and the Cedarmere Mill, led by The Friends of Cedarmere, restorations are complete--that they along with funding from Nassau County will take this project on. .
