Good luck, I'm from Roslyn and frequented your location when it was The Anchorage, Terra Firma and Rick's Cafe. Next time I visit Roslyn I will be sure to stop by for dinner.
Many thanks to the Society for preserving this artifact from Green Escape. One slight correction to your write-up, no other bookcases from the Morley home were moved to The Knothole, making the one at RLS the sole survivor.
A similar incident occurred recently to my sister at the Trader Joe’s in Westbury : she was getting into her car to leave and someone told her she dropped some money and while she reached down to pick it up they reached into her car and grabbed her wallet taking off on a shopping spree which she discovered the following day! “Oh the times they are A changin!” Oh how I’d love to capture these people and string them up; but I guess they must be really in need and desperate to take such action! It’s sad , offensive, infuriating!
A wonderful find, indeed and its rich contents have been well displayed. I was particularly struck by the US map, with the middle of the country mostly blank and California floating in the ocean. The Dutch Counsel should help us with it.
Have lived in the area for many years and had no idea Lincoln had a custom dealership in Roslyn; second the praise that the building that housed the company still exists.

What happened to the house? Current view shows it in ruins.

Douglas, the building was always called the Lincoln Building. I always thought it was named after President Lincoln!
