After the Hempstead Harbor Creek was dredged in 1929, Anton (Tony) Walbridge built this boathouse on Hempstead Harbor Creek for his "Heigh-Ho" yacht. Walbridge was the son of Henry Walbridge, a broker and mayor of Roslyn from 1935 to1937 and the owner of the Waldene Estate which he inherited from his father.

As seen in this aerial, the boathouse was still standing in 1950.
