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. .

Sophia, thank you for spotlighting this interesting building. I have one correction to pass along: the building was raised and renovated by William Cullen Bryant's grandson Harold Godwin, who later sold the property to Lloyd Bryce.

The school is at the intersection of Roslyn Road and Lincoln Avenue, not Lincoln Street

One Willow St house was owned by George Gách, renowned and prolific fine artist painter and sculptor, third in line of a five generational art family. His art studio was attached to his house.

Many congrats to Ms. Hanjis and to the Society. Would that the Society could attract more young and involved people to serve. (Sadly, I am no longer young nor involved) Kudos to the Hanjis' for rescuing
"Happy House." It will now truly live up to its name (even if they change it!) Hooray!

Kudos for publicizing this article. The issue of the railroad station was broached by Morley in an August 12, 1940 letter to LIRR vice president George LeBoutillier in the Bryant Library's Local History Collection Morley Scrapbooks. The letter is transcribed, along with other related items, in Mr. Morley Takes the Train a volume about CDM's affinity with railroads edited by my friends Jon Lellenberg and Donald Pollock.

Preservation at its finest that all will have the privilege to see for many generations to come. I can only admire the spirit and genuine enthusiasm and care that the Roslyn Landmark Society have shown and continue to show. To all the members who support the Landmark Society and especially the officers
the effort is outstanding. History will always be saved and cherished as it should through the Roslyn Landmarks Society.

Thank you for inspiring me to do at least a cursory look into Mr. Morley. Obviously I knew of the park but never realized his life actually overlapped mine. I was delighted and confused, though, that the iron-clad Republican government of Nassau County had named a park after an author that wrote a 1939 novel, "Kitty Foyle", that seems to have been sympathetic to abortion and had a rather women's lib slant. But then I realized, better check, there was a Democrat that was County Executive for a while, and sure enough, Eugene Nickerson was County Executive 1962-1970. And I think the park was named for Christophe Morley in 1966.
But I have to say that my brief foray into Google and Wikipedia seems to show that Christopher Morley was certainly worthy to name a park after and certainly deserving of further investigation.
