Queens Boulevard (tracks thereon) at and adjoining the S.W. corner of Fifty-seventh Avenue. Shown at the corner is the home of Samuel Reune in 1776 which was also known as the Bretoni ers' house. It was remodelled in 1865 by J. Van Riper, a builder. The hip roof was converted to that seen in the views. This builder also believes that the structure adjoining it was the first Baptist Church building of Newtown. The first mentioned house was still standing in November 1933. 1922 View 2: April 1923 View 3: February 1924 View 4: May 1926. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection
