Looking back at the current view of the Roslyn site, Mackay mansion was four times larger than the biggest house in the area today! He was only 28 years of age when he built the house on the hill. Sadly, there is no evidence at all today of the former estate. It’s been completely wiped off the map. THANK YOU Howard for saving those Mackay horses!
Roz and I voted today at the Roslyn Community Center. About 50 people were on line in a light rain at 5:45 pm. The line moved very quickly and we voted in around 30 minutes. It felt great to vote this year! Howard Kroplick
You do not need to be registered at the location. Any resident can go to any of the polling places. You just give your name, sign an iPad and a ballot is printed out. Howard Kroplick

What I would do to see the original Mackay Estate!!! I grew up on Cedar Dr. , around the corner from the Dairyman Cottage in Country Estates. The only remains of the estate add so much history and CLASS to Roslyn. The Melby Lane house is breathtaking and NEEDS to remain there. There are enough homes now crammed into that part of Nob Hill, that house gives Roslyn, and all who have lived there, a magical look into what was once part of the Mackay Estate. The gate house owners should be ashamed that it is just wasting away, the property has been owned for years now and NOTHING. Keep the history ALIVE!!!
Matthew, thanks for the comment. Both Mackay Horse Statues have been restored from the original statues installed on the Mackay Estate in 1920. Here is a link for more information: https://www.roslynlandmarks.org/projects/mackay-horse-statue Howard Kroplick
There will be a time when no tangible history remains. Is there a way to preserve so that we remember what our community looked like and how things have changed?
