Roslyn Clock Tower about 1905 "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.


Roslyn Milldam "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 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.
