Tuesday, 12/29/09: Then and Now: The Motor Parkway Office in Garden City

posted on Monday, December 28 2009 by Howard Kroplick

LIMP Winter Scenes Motor Parkway General Manager's House Garden City 1960s

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.
