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.
I would like to see any photos that there may be of the old school house on west shore road. and any photos of the Marino House on Port Blvd and Marino Ave.
Wonderful to see a masonry wall being constructed no a modern replica false facade look done in modern materials( ie plastic !!!) . My ancestors through and up to my father were al masons arriving from England in the North America prior to 1900. I did not carry on the family tradition but am active in the Inc. Village where we have resided since 1924 and I was responsible for the creation of the local Architectural Review Board, the Guidelines for same and the law written to preserve the aesthetics of the village for any changes to houses and commercial structures 3+ decades ago. (That did not make me popular at all with people seeking changes to their expectations - ie the cheapest way possible) . I also founded the local Historical Society in 1999 and established a museum to have artifacts on display.
It also happens that Howard Kroplick and I were born in the same year, both have a very avid interest in and own older vehicles as well ( myself since 1964) . Preservation of history is in ones blood and will
never cease! What the Roslyn Landmarks Society is doing is of the finest example I have ever seen. Thank you all so very much.

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

Hope they weren’t too confusing.
