Great find in RLS files and very interesting history of steamboat travel. Bryant took an earlier ship from I think Glenwood Landing, but about 1871 started more often taking rail.
I love history and enjoyed exploring the area around the Valentine’s house. I feel it’s important to preserve the history of an area and not tear everything down. Thank you
Great comprehensive article about a house I always liked, didn't know anything about it. I even have Nelson's book. I was interested in having it on the RLS 2006 House Tour but it was deemed too modern.
I remember driving by that house often when I was a kid. It has been many, many years since I have been back to Roslyn, but seeing this photo jogged my memory immediately. Wish I could have seen the interior. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful

I’m 66, male, with MS. Walking is a hardship. My experience at Aquaduct was a scary challenge. To begin with, even with my handicap parking permit, parking spaces were too far from the entrance and there weren’t enough spots. It was raining, so holding an umbrella and a cane was very difficult. Btw the national guard and others were very nice and informative but no one offered a helping hand. Too much walking and I’m already dreading of my return experience for the second shot. I should have gone to Jones beach where I heard you don’t even have to get out of the car.
I hope greater assistance can be offered to those in need.
I use to pester my parents to go the Blue Spruce when I was about 8-12 years old. I think I had the duck. I love duck. Are you related to Wally Wurl? She went to Lu-Hi and was on my bus. I'm about 5 years younger than her. My father was the President of Quality Fish Co., Inc. Do you have any interesting stories? We are the children of all of these people and when we were younger, we did not have a clear perspective of our parents. That took many decades.

While Nelson was not responsible for the US Pavillion, this house sure does remind me of it. https://www.worldsfairphotos.com/nywf64/united-states.htm
Ned, it sure does!
