Wonderful to see a masonry wall being constructed no a modern replica false facade look done in modern materials( ie plastic !!!) . My ancestors through and up to my father were al masons arriving from England in the North America prior to 1900. I did not carry on the family tradition but am active in the Inc. Village where we have resided since 1924 and I was responsible for the creation of the local Architectural Review Board, the Guidelines for same and the law written to preserve the aesthetics of the village for any changes to houses and commercial structures 3+ decades ago. (That did not make me popular at all with people seeking changes to their expectations - ie the cheapest way possible) . I also founded the local Historical Society in 1999 and established a museum to have artifacts on display.
It also happens that Howard Kroplick and I were born in the same year, both have a very avid interest in and own older vehicles as well ( myself since 1964) . Preservation of history is in ones blood and will
never cease! What the Roslyn Landmarks Society is doing is of the finest example I have ever seen. Thank you all so very much.
