Queens: Springfield Boulevard - 48th Avenue
Springfield Boulevard, east side, between Forty-eight and Fifty-sixth Aves., showing the Oakland Golf Club's Club house. In 1891 this house and the surrounding estate belonged to John Taylor. In 1860 to S. Valentine. This place was first known as "The Oaks" and was opened as a nursery by a member of the Hicks family. Later it was also owned by a Lawrence and one Henderson. This is not the original building; it was destroyed by fire. The entrance to this Club house was a private drive extending northeastward from Rocky Hill Road (now Fifty-sixth Ave.) In 1937 it was located east of Fifty-first Avenue and Kenilworth Drive. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. January 1923.
