Queens: Northern Boulevard - Main Street, 1923–1930

Photo 35 of 59 at Northern Boulevard & Main Street, Queens

Queens: Northern Boulevard - Main Street

1923; 1924; 1930

(1-4) Northern Boul., south side, east of Main St. (right), showing an old home said to be standing in 1819. In 1826 Joshua and Rachel Kimber conducted a private school in this house. In 1830 it was the home of one Bissett; and in 1873, it was occupied by I. Frost. Eugene L. Armbruster also states it was at one time the home of Jacob P. Haubeil. This individual operated the Fountain House in 1896. However a Mr. Michels denies that Jacob F. Haubiel ever lived at 101 Broadway (now Northern Boul.). For more information see the S.E. corner of Main St. and Northern Boul. This house was partially damaged in 1923, and was demolished in Oct. 1930. This is a set of four views seen from slightly different angles. Views: 1&2 1922 View: 3 July 1923 View: 4 March 1924
