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
Howard, The stone used to construct the Harbor Hill Water tower was not local stone. They came from the demolition of the old reservoir that was located at Fifth Ave. and 42nd St. in the City, where the library is located today.
Remaining section of Harbor Hill estate driveway. Looks very similar to the stone construction of the Mackay water tower. A known section is behind houses at Redwood Dr.
