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?
So little remains of the Mackay estate The 2 Horsetamer statues are reproductions The Gate House is. getting worse day by day we must try to preserve some of these historic buildings.

Having moved to Northwood, East Hills, in 1955 when my Dad moved his business to Roslyn, I grew up on land that was part of the Mackay Estate. Country Estates was just being built. There is so little left of the history of the Mackay Estate and East Hills. I am saddened by the possible loss of this piece of our history. We need to preserve and respect what little remains.

Mark, Hicks Lumber Yard was located further south at 17-21 Lumber Road.

Was this the Hicks lumber yard prior to this waterfront building?
