The building was the home of the Roslyn Veterinary Clinic at 212 Mineola Avenue.
We are looking approximately east in Roslyn at the intersection of Mineola Avenue (going off to the right) and Old Northern Blvd. going down the hill to the left. The current address is #1 Mineola Avenue, site of the Roslyn Village Veterinarian. This was part of the 1906 Vanderbilt Cup Race course.
