The history of the Port Washington Fire Department The Port Washington Volunteer Fire Department The three original fire companies in Port Washington - Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 (1886), Protection Engine Company No. 1 (1892), and Flower Hill Hose Company No. 1 (1905) - were all organized years before the Port Washington Fire Department was formed. The fire companies all operated independently of any central command until 1907. Up until that time they all pulled together when fighting fires. In 1894 Protection and Atlantic agreed to appoint a Protection member, Eugene E. Carpenter, as Chief for the purpose of commanding both companies at a fire scene. Although the “fire department” wasn’t yet organized, E.E. Carpenter was the first fire chief of the community. Department Organized Even though there was cooperation at the scene of a fire, it became evident that there was the need for an official organization to coordinate all the activities of the community’s fire service. In the beginning of January 1907, a group known as the “Committee of Nine” (three members from each company) began meeting. On January 28, 1907 a proposed constitution and by-laws were submitted to each of the companies for approval. On February 18, 1907 the committee
appointed Captain Frederick J. Snow of Flower Hill Hose Company No. 1 as its Chairman, and on March 25, 1907 a meeting was held of the membership of all three companies at Liberty Hall (the headquarters of Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1), “... for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization and for the election of officers for the same.” The combined membership voted to form the new Port Washington Fire Department the purpose of which, “... shall be the extinguishment of fires and the protection of life and property.” The newly elected officers that were unanimously voted into office: Chief of Department: Frederick J. Snow (Flower Hill Hose Company No. 1) 1st Deputy Chief: Timothy J. Bird (Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1) 2nd Deputy Chief: William E. Smith (Protection Engine Company No. 1) Clerk of the Board: James F. Dinn (Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1) Treasurer: Burtis H. Monfort (Flower Hill Hose Company No. 1) Surgeon: William I. Cocks (Protection Engine Company No. 1) There weren’t a great number of fires in the early years and the members
would put much of their efforts into training, maintaining equipment, and raising money to operate the fire companies and the Department. Early Fund Raising Beginning in 1909 the Port Washington Fire Department would sponsor a local tournament and parade which became known as “Firemen’s Day”. Four contests were held: Hose and Ladder Contest - a contest that involved running 100 yards, pulling a ladder from the truck, placing it in position and ascending to the top rung. Single Ladder Climbing Contest - with a ladder already standing, participants would run fifty feet and climb to the top rung in the shortest time possible. Double Wet Hose Contest- a contest that involved a 100 yard run, stretching 100 feet of hose, attaching it to a hydrant, uncoupling the hose, attaching the nozzle and water to be thrown. Bucket Line Contest. “Firemen’s Day” was an annual event until about 1920. Probably one of the most interesting (and exhausting) feats of the day was the line of march. The typical parade route started at the tournament arch on Webster Avenue, then proceeded to Monroe
Street, to Main Street, up Main Street to Monfort’s Corner (Port Washington Boulevard & Main Street), to Bernard Street, to Maryland Avenue, back to Main Street, to Mackey Avenue, to Bayview Avenue, to Shore Road (Plandome Road), around Bayles’ Corner (corner of Shore Road & Main Street), down Shore Road to the residence of Jacob Cocks (Pleasant Avenue), back up Shore Road to Main Street (Bayles’ Corner), up Main Street to Monroe then to Webster Avenue and ending back at the arch. At the time the roads were primarily dirt and the members of all the fire companies wore “white duck” pants as part of their uniforms! By 1915 a much needed law was passed in New York State to provide tax revenue for fire protection each year based upon assessed valuation. A contract was signed with the Town of North Hempstead for fire protection services. Heretofore all operating funds were obtained through fund raising activities put on by the firemen or ladies auxiliaries from each of the fire companies. Another advantage of signing the contract with the Town was that all volunteer members would now be able to receive benefits under the Healey Law with respect to injuries at fires or official activities of the fire companies.

Looking back: the history of the Port Washington Police District The first chief of the department was Frederick J. Snow, a retired battalion chief of the New York City Fire Department who moved to South Maryland Avenue in Port Washington in 1904. He served for a short period as a captain of the Long Island Railroad Police. The remainder of the Department consisted of a day clerk, Miss Mortimer, and a night clerk, Elwood Stuyvesant (later replaced by Miss Ivanella Cocks and Ellwood Hults) who acted as desk officers. These civilian employees worked twelve-hour shifts – women 8
S12
a.m. to 8 p.m., men, 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. There were six men on the force, one lieutenant and five patrolmen. The force worked without days off, but was allowed ten days of vacation a year. This small force was required to turn out all men for every general alarm fire regardless of tour worked. In addition, for the first three days of sick leave, only half pay was given. Later, as the men received a “long” swing, one day off out of every fifteen, they were required to work that day as payroll guards from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the big business doing sand mining in town. All these duties
were normal and accepted for Patrolmen earning $1,500 annually. The five patrolmen were given bicycles for patrolling and answering calls. The Chief and the Lieutenant were given model “T” Ford’s to ride in. The only means of contacting the patrolmen was by a green lighted lamp hung over each call box. These boxes were placed throughout the village, including the residential district. The village, at this point in time, was still a beautiful rural town. Traffic was just a trickle and horses were still drawing milk wagons. The community of Port Washington

established its own Police Department before the establishment of the Nassau County Police Department. Prior to 1922, Port Washington managed to get along with one constable, Isaac Smith, who had Police powers. However, it was impossible for one man to work around the clock seven days a week and give the community proper Police protection. With a population of five to six thousand there was very little crime. But with a rapidly increasing population and more universal use of the automobile, it was felt that a larger, Continued on Page 54

LIBRARY PORT WASHINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY One Library Drive Port Washington, NY 11050 Phone: (516) 883-4400 Fax: (516) 883-7927 www.pwpl.org Library Administration Keith Klang, Library Director James Hutter, Assistant Director
Board of Trustees Patricia Bridges, President Nancy Comer William Keller Michael Krevor Adrienne Saur Matthew Straus Sima Vasa
About the Port Washington Public Library In 1892, the Women’s Club of Port Washington organized the community’s first library service with books donated by members. Donors paid $2.00 a year and met two afternoons a week in the home of Miss Wilhelmina Mitchell on Main Street near the waterfront. Later the Library moved to rooms in another private home where a “Young Men’s Reading Room” was opened in the evenings. Fundraising events included peach festivals, card parties and musical evenings. The Library was chartered as a Free Library by New York State in 1895 with a collection of 370 volumes and was open nine hours a week In 1916, the President of the Board of Trustees made a plea for a “new modern Library building”, and a building fund was started. In 1924, voters approved spending $35,000 on a new building and construction began in November 1925 on a side street off of Main, and the building opened a year later. The Library was granted a charter on January 1, 1925 under the corporate name of Port Washington Public Library. In 1965, plans were drafted for a new building on a larger, centrally located site on Main Street itself. The building opened on June 8, 1970 and all services experienced a sharp increase in use (334,760 books circulated the first year). Since that day, services continued to expand and evolve. In response to the Covid19 Pandemic, the Library has worked to end the digital divide
within the community by offering loanable laptops, mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, and other devices. Patrons have access to a variety of online services; online tutoring, virtual language training, digital storybooks for kids, eBooks, audiobooks, comics, music and movies, virtual programming, lectures, performances, Story Times and much more. The Port Washington Public Library has always preserved and organized historic records of local organizations, individuals and institutions. Today the Local History Center houses the PWPL institutional records and over 70 Special Collections. The Center’s goal is to collect, preserve and manage historic and folkloric materials that are special or unique, with a strong emphasis on items of local interest Port Washington Public Library’s current Archivist and Special Collections Librarian Vanessa Nastro takes readers into the detailed and comprehensive history of Port Washington and the Manhasset Bay in her debut book, Along Manhasset Bay published by Arcadia Press and the History Press. For readers looking to immerse themselves in the rich history contained within the pages of “Along Manhasset Bay,” be sure to download the accompanying free walking tour app which uses GPS technology to signal oral history excerpts and realtime narration guides along the designated route on Main Street, Port Washington and beachfront of Manhasset Bay.
EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK: The bays of Long Island’s North Shore have long been an incubator for innovation and prosperity. In the nineteenth century, they were the homes of hard-working baymen who wrested a living from oyster beds and clamming grounds. During the early 1900s, areas such as Port Washington, Manhasset, and Great Neck flourished into commuter, suburban towns. Following in the footsteps of the industrial elites, a multitude of recreational boaters and fishermen transformed the North Shore in the 1940s. They brought marinas and restaurants to its waters, and the buzz of nautical pleasures—all the trappings of a modern recreational industry. The attraction of protected harbors, deep waters and proximity to New York City soon attracted newcomers at the end of the 19th century. The Bay, Long Island Sound and Hempstead Harbor became the playgrounds of rich and famous yachtsmen whose elaborate vessels turned Manhasset Bay into a showcase of maritime finery. Families such as the Goulds, Astors, Morgans, Whitneys, Belmonts, and Guggenheims owned luxurious yachts that created a new industry of captains, boatbuilders, suppliers and crews.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
The Story of The Sands Point Preserve On the legendary Gold Coast of Long Island, the Guggenheim Estate was created by financier Howard Gould, son of railroad robber baron Jay Gould, in 1900. Castle Gould, a massive 100,000-square-foot medieval castle, modeled after Ireland’s Kilkenny Castle, was completed in 1902. Howard and his wife, actress Katherine Clemmons built a second mansion on the property: Hempstead House – a more intimate 50,000-square-foot Tudor-style mansion with a 60-foot-tall entry foyer. Their marriage ended in a divorce that was played out in the press with Gould accusing Clemmons of having an affair with William F. Cody (known in Old West lore as Buffalo Bill). After the divorce, Gould sold the estate in 1917 to mining tycoon Daniel Guggenheim and his wife, Florence. In 1923, they gave 90 acres of the estate to their son, Harry F. Guggenheim, on his marriage to Caroline Morton. Harry built Falaise (French for “cliff ”) in the style of a French-Norman manor house, atop the bluffs overlooking Hempstead Harbor. His good friend, aviator Charles Lindbergh was a frequent visitor. Falaise has been preserved much as it was when Harry and his third wife, Newsday founder Alicia Patterson, were in residence. After Daniel’s death in 1930, Florence built and relocated to Mille Fleurs, a smaller mansion on the property with a garden of a “thousand flowers.”
In 1940, Florence auctioned off Hempstead House’s furnishings; she reopened the house for 75 British refugee children who resided there during World War II, while foster homes were organized for them. Florence donated 162 acres of the estate, including Hempstead House and Castle Gould to the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences in 1942. The Institute sold the property to the United States Navy in 1946 for use as a Naval Training Device Center. In addition to the military staff, the Navy employed 800 civilians on this site during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1971, Nassau County acquired 127 acres for public recreational use. Harry died the same year, and his 90acre estate, including the fully furnished Falaise mansion, was deeded to the County as a museum site. These two acquisitions restored most of the former Gould/Guggenheim Estate as the Sands Point Preserve. The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was granted authority to manage and plan the future uses of this beautiful 216-acre Nassau County park in 2008. Today, the Conservancy offers year-round educational and cultural programs, seasonal celebrations, mansion tours, fitness activities as well as film/TV location facilities and private/corporate event services.

The history of the Port Washington Fire Department Continued from Page 10 In the early years a major problem was alerting the members of a fire. The fledgling phone system was based in the old village (lower Main Street). Although a bell was located on Flower Hill Hose Company’s firehouse on Haven Avenue, the main alerting came from the ringing of the bell located at Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company on Carlton Avenue in the old village. That bell was quite a distance from Flower Hill and, depending on the direction of the wind, it was not always heard. On many occasions there would be a delay in responding to fires. In the same respect when the bell at Flower Hill was rung it might not be heard in the old village. The firefighters experimented with a variety of alternatives from placing a whistle at the train station and having it activated by their steam system to actually having the trains in the yard blow their whistles. Finally, in 1919, a whistle was installed on Flower Hill Hose Company’s firehouse. Fire calls were made to the Long Island Railroad office and one of their employees would run across the street and activate the alarm.
It would not be until 1923 that an adequate alerting system was purchased by the Port Washington Taxpayer’s Association for use by the Department. That system was installed at both Flower Hill Hose Company on Haven Avenue and Protection Engine Company on South Washington Street. When needed it was activated by the police department. Period of Modernization & Expansion In 1954, the audible alarms (horns and sirens) throughout the community were renovated and
supplemented. As the community grew and housing was built farther from the center of town, additional equipment was needed to alert the firefighters who lived in those outlying areas. Later, in 1968, the alerting system was augmented by “Plectron” radio receivers that were issued to each member and kept in their houses. Years later personal pagers were issued and are still in use today. Up through 1956, the Chiefs used their personal vehicles to conduct Department business, including responding to fires. The wear and tear on the vehicle was a substantial personal expense for
a chief officer. In 1957 the Department purchased its first Chief’s car. The Port Washington News reported it was, “equipped with a two way radio and special spot lights as well as a fire siren. It is expected to play an important role in fire fighting in this area.” The ambulance had been housed at a private garage since the service first began in 1927. It became necessary to provide a more suitable location and in 1961 a new headquarters building for the Department was constructed at 423 Port Washington Boulevard across from police headquarters. The building not only housed the ambulance and the supplies needed for its operation, but it also provided administrative space for the Chiefs and Fire Marshal to conduct Department business. Changing with the Times Along with the increased regulations came more record keeping and reporting. And, the public was demanding more fiscal accountability as well. This burden severely stressed both the administrative and line officers, all of whom had to devote as much
time to paperwork as they did to firefighting. So, during the 1990s the Department altered its structure to include an administrative board of directors and a paid office manager. This was soon followed by the hiring of several personnel to handle the varied maintenance tasks that were previously performed by the volunteer members. This allowed the members to devote their volunteer hours to training, fighting fires and responding to EMS incidents. Today, like all volunteer fire departments throughout the country, the Port Washington Fire Department is dealing with the reality of having to respond to more emergency calls with fewer people. We are proud to say that we are meeting the challenge. The volunteer spirit is strong; the dedication of our members unswerving; their attitude is professional; and their commitment to the Port Washington Fire Department and the community of Port Washington will continue on. We look forward to the next 100 years. Information provided by Port Washington Fire Department.

Looking back: the history of the Port Washington Police District Continued from Page S12 more adequate Police force was needed. A wave of burglaries struck the “Heights” section of town during 1919-1920, and residents of this upper middle class neighborhood became alarmed. Meetings were held to explore remedies to make people feel secure in their homes at night. At the urging of residents, and with the assistance of local politicians, a bill was introduced in the State Legislature in Albany to create a “Police District” in Port Washington. After passage of the bill, the Port Washington Police Department was established in November of 1921 and began operation on January 1, 1922. The Police Department had no headquarters of its own until 1923, when a building was erected next to the sewer district office at Sunset Park on Main Street. The original headquarters building still stands today, housing the Port Washington Police
Athletic League. In 1925, under an opinion obtained from the State Attorney General Albert Ottinger, the creation of the Nassau County Police Department eliminated all special police districts wherever formed. At the Town Board meeting in October of 1925, the budget presented by the Port Washington Police Commissioners was temporarily held up, it being the opinion that remedial legislation would be needed in order to avoid a double tax for police protection. This problem would not be resolved for eight years. In 1926, the Commissioners appointed Philip N. Grosbeck, a retired New York City Police Captain, as Chief of Police. This was to bring city police methods to Port Washington. In 1928, Chief Grosbeck retired and Stephen J. Webber, a former Army Provost Marshal at Mitchel Field, was appointed Chief. He headed the department for fourteen years, during
which time the size of the force increased to twenty men. Radios were added to patrol cars, receivers only at first, with acknowledgment over the nearest call box. Later, two-way radios were installed. It was in 1933 that the official status of the police district was finally legislated. At a special election held on August 2, 1933, voters of the Town of North Hempstead approved a proposition to retain the special police district by 4,086 to 2,221 majority. The Port Washington Police District was confirmed as a separate unit on May 28, 1934, when the late Governor Herbert Lehman signed a bill authorizing the town board to appoint three commissioners to conduct the District’s affairs. The bill transferred supervisory powers from the town board to the three commissioners. The Governor had previously vetoed the bill, but a delegation headed by Police Commissioner (later Town
Supervisor) Hartford Gunn went to Albany and induced the Governor to rescind his veto. Over the years, many innovations and many new personnel have been added to the Port Washington Police Department. Under the direction of William J. Kilfoil, Chief of Police since 1993, as of May 2008, the force now consists of sixty six sworn officers, (this includes the Detective Division, Juvenile Aid Bureau, Gang Unit, Narcotics Unit, Traffic Safety Enforcement Unit (3), School Resource Officer (1) and Community Liaison (1). There are thirteen school crossing guards, three dispatchers, one parking meter attendant and four civilian personnel for a total staff of 87. The department maintains a fleet of 31 vehicles, which includes three motorcycles. By Jenifer Rowland – District Secretary 1998 – 2008
