The Motor Parkway House


This rare 1908 photo from the Garden City Archives shows the Motor Parkway House located on Powell Avenue in Central Park (now Bethpage)during the construction of the parkway.


The big unknown is: What was the Motor Parkway House? Was it a hotel, the construction workers' sleeping quarters, or something else? Another LIMP mystery!

Howard, fascinating as usual! Any chance that you can identify the letters that are partly hidden by the trees? That could give a clue. How high-res is your scan?
