I hope this talk has among the ladies mentioned Elinor Smith (Sullivan) the Flying Flapper of Freeport who sent numerous aviation records when she was 16 years old including flying under all the east river bridges on a dare (which was a federal offense and Mayor Jimmy Walker came to her defense)
A grand lady that I used to have dinner with along with other aviation notables from the early 1930s at a friends in house in Merrick 45-50 years ago
My Mom, Jeanie Hammer was a waitress there at the tea house in the 1960's, she waited on RFK. I remember spending a lot of time inside and outside of the Old Mill in the 1960's and 70's as a kid. Great memories will last forever. Thanks for restoring it, it truly is a Roslyn gem!
I was a rheumatic fever patient from 1955 - 1957. The first year was fine I was treated mostly by nurses. The 2nd year I lived in a dormitory with the nuns. It was a complete nightmare. They beat the crap out of us on a daily basis. This caused me a lot of problems later in life. It was hard enough being away from your family for such an extended period of time, but to be physically abused on a daily basis made it very difficult. So to those who might say I might be exaggerating, I met someone on Facebook who experienced the same treatment only worse. That validated everything. Anyone who has experienced this same treatment can email me at [email protected]
Ethelinda is my gg aunt, sister Hannah married Abraham Whitson who also had Townsend ancestor(Richard b. 1635 Norwich, Eng) were my gg grandparents. I live in St Paul, MN
Very very interesting, and enjoy the historic photos. I have lived on the next block for 44 years, and watched the changes . SAw the new fire house being built. The Temple was across the street in a small building originally, corner. REally a storefront.............was also a Chinese Laundry service; now is nail/spa place.
Leslie - thank you for your thoughts! Educating the public and the community on the importance of this structure is so important, and I'm certain this idea will be considered!
Pietro’s, a beloved Italian restaurant with deep family roots, recently opened in Roslyn, bringing classic flavors and elegant dining to the area, much to the delight of local food lovers. Dubai’s dynamic culinary scene offers a fantastic complement with its mix of traditional and innovative global cuisines.

Regarding the Mackay Mansion ….is there a possibility that a metal street sign historical marker with metal photo and a small amount of info ….can be erected on the corner(s) or on along Roslyn Rd or nearby streets ?
Is there a printed list of the names on the Roll of Honor? Also looking for the best picture of the Roll of Honor to be displayed at the Roslyn Presbyterian Service Honoring Veterans on November, 9, at 10 am. Thank you!
