Fascinating account--with great information about the landscape architect in the AR essay. Despite the French architecture of White the landscape by Guy Lowell is described as American--featuring newly planted 25 ft Maple trees instead of European evergreens. It is "informal" and "natural." I am having trouble bring up Part II.
I have viewed a 1939 map online of the land holdings of 1939 for Mary Lane in Greenvale. How can I confirm if the name was chosen bc the land closest to it belonged to Mary Gallatin Hoppins. She sold the Friendship Hill estate in 1945. My home on Mary Lane was built in 1950. Many street names belong to the Lewis family, whose famous nursery owned much land in this area. No Lewis family member had the name Mary. In more recent maps it shows Roslyn Harbor holdings, but who originally owned the land?
Completely knowing this photo from another site vanderbiltcupraces.com the answer is the former Bull’s Head Hotel located on the northeast corner of Glen Cove Road and Northern Boulevard (North Hempstead Turnpike) in Greenvale.(formerly North Roslyn). The Bull’s Head Hotel was located on the 1905 Vanderbilt Race course and was the headquarters for the White steam race car in that year. In 1906, their auto shed was the HQ for the Pope-Toledo race cars. The photo is approximately 1934-1936. Cars in the photo behind officer Harry LaRue could be: 1930 Ford Model A Tudor, 1932 Plymouth (oval rear window), 1932 Chevrolet, 1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe
Now called Vienna of Roslyn. Was The Chalet for decades. Photographer was across Railroad avenue near the train tracks. Original owner was Clarence Mackay, I believe
