231-26 125th Ave - Home of Stephen, Carole
& Barry Dichter. Man was that house small. Probably 20'x 40'. 3 stories with
part of the basement cut off by a one car garage so maybe 1000sqft in total
- 5 people. The street adjacent (west) to our block was Francis Lewis and
across FLB was old Montefiore Cemetary. Our row of houses (true row houses)
were built during WW-II at the north end of a potato farm. They are the only
row houses of their style in the Laurelton area North of Merrick and were
built after the Germans had landed a U-Boat off the south shore of Long
Island. They were scared of the German invasion. |

Corner
Corner of
237 & 121st Ave. Located on the SE corner across from PS-176. It was know as
the "The Lost Continent" by the Guard Squad. This street had one crossing
guard, me and I had one kid who crossed - JoAnne Filippi other than that, I
could lean against the fence and watch the clouds. Nothing much has
changed....................... |
