Then & Now: The Motor Parkway Office in Garden City
From 1915 to mid-1929, the first Long Island Motor Parkway Office was built in Garden City. In 1929, the small office was replaced by this attractive building which served as the office for General Manager Alfred Kienzle.
The office was located east of the the Motor Parkway Bridge over Clinton Road and about 50 yards west of the Garden City Lodge.
As seen in this December 24, 2009 photo, the building is still standing and is now a private residence.

Hi James,
What street do you want featured?
Howard, hope all is well. Looking for Kenwood Road, Washington Ave area.
Thanks
James
V in photo stands for USN lighter than air, aircraft ( non blimp ). F designates bomber not fighter, may have been mapping from Mitchell Field
Howard, I am sure you are swamped with 1964 Mustang III requests, any ideas on photo of east garden city?
Thanks!
James, two Garden City aerials (1933 and 1938) have been posted.
Enjoy,
Howard
Howard, thanks for the help, just came back from Hofstra to view the Drennan collection. They have some great car crash photos. Picture of 1938 helps, just looking for just west of this photo ( blocks ! ) , any suggestions?
FYI, used to play on bridge in early 1970s on old courthouse road, and ride bikes down ( “old motor” ), as we called it, still had some paving at the time, and ran by golf course. Landscapers used to shoot at us with salt shot if we got on the greens!, there was a small lake and bamboo forest, quite adventuresome for a 6 year old.
Again, many thanks!
James
Howard, any suggestions on locating the aerial I am searching for?
Thanks
