"The Clock Tower, Roslyn." Both
of these postcards were mailed in 1905. The sender of the card on the
right wrote, "This is the entrance to Mackey's mansion, and they are
making preparations for the Hunt. You can see the dogs & men ready
to go." Built in 1895, the tower
still stands.
"The
Milldam, Roslyn" mailed in 1908. On the left is the mill, which was built in 1701. It is also known
as the Robeson-Williams Grist Mill. At the right
is an enlargement of the mill sign "Joshua T Hicks."
Roslyn Mill Tea House. It
is still on Old Northern Boulevard
at the edge of Hempstead Harbor. At the far left of the postcard on the
right is the clock tower. A more recent (probably 1960s) card
is here.
