GUIDE TO P O RT WASHIN GTO N • M AY 3, 2019
The history of the Port Washington Fire Department The Port Washington Volunteer Fire Department The three original ďŹ re 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 ďŹ re companies all operated independently of any central command until 1907. Up until that time they all pulled together when ďŹ ghting ďŹ res. 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 ďŹ re scene. Although the â€œďŹ re departmentâ€? wasn’t yet organized, E.E. Carpenter was the ďŹ rst ďŹ re chief of the community. Department Organized Even though there was cooperation at the scene of a ďŹ re, it became evident that there was the need for an oďŹƒcial organization to coordinate all the activities of the community’s ďŹ re service. In the beginning of January 1907, a group known as the “Committee of Nineâ€? (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 eecting a permanent organization and for the election of oďŹƒcers for the same.â€? The combined membership voted to form the new Port Washington Fire Department the purpose of which, “... shall be the extinguishment of ďŹ res and the protection of life and property.â€? The newly elected oďŹƒcers that were unanimously voted into oďŹƒce: 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 ďŹ res in the early years and the members
would put much of their eorts into training, maintaining equipment, and raising money to operate the ďŹ re 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 Dayâ€?. 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 ďŹ fty 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 Dayâ€? 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 ďŹ re companies wore “white duckâ€? pants as part of their uniforms! By 1915 a much needed law was passed in New York State to provide tax revenue for ďŹ re protection each year based upon assessed valuation. A contract was signed with the Town of North Hempstead for ďŹ re protection services. Heretofore all operating funds were obtained through fund raising activities put on by the ďŹ remen or ladies auxiliaries from each of the ďŹ re companies. Another advantage of signing the contract with the Town was that all volunteer members would now be able to receive beneďŹ ts under the Healey Law with respect to injuries at ďŹ res or oďŹƒcial activities of the ďŹ re 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.

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.

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

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.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Port Washington’s early shoreline BY C H R I STO P H E R BAIN Before the railroad came to Port Washington in 1898, the center of town was the shoreline. On the north end, local commerce centered around the Mill Pond and the Hotel Renwick (the same building currently occupied by Diwan). Commercial life stretched southward where several boatyards thrived near where Manhasset Bay Yacht Club is today. In between these points were ďŹ shing shacks, tidal mills, boat building and repair facilities, a ďŹ sh market, a bicycle shop, steamship docks and the usual cast of characters that made up many small shore villages on Long Island. By 1872, the Civil War of the previous decade was just beginning to recede into memory, even though it had been (and remains today) the
deadliest and most costly war in American history. A young man named Peter Hults, who had moved to Port with his brothers Issac, William and Jacob from City Island, had an idea. He would abandon his
earlier attempts at oystering, and join his brothers in local construction work. It was in that year that Peter Hults built our town’s ďŹ rst hotel, The Port Washington Hotel, complete with its own dock, on the shore
road across from the entrance of today’s Town Dock. [For today’s reference, as you face the road from the Town Dock’s entrance, it was located just to the left of the present home of Daniel Gale Realty.]
The Port Washington Hotel did a solid business for more than 20 years. In 1895 when Peter Hults died, it was sold to Charles Heubner who operated it as Heubner’s Hotel for a Continued on Page 56

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Port Washington’s early shoreline Continued from Page 50 few years. However in 1900, the hotel was sold for the last time, and for more than 60 years, would be known far and wide as Bradley’s. Let me give you a sense of
where you are. Remember that Sunset Park, where the Sousa Bandshell is today, was made years later from landďŹ ll. But its not here yet. The Town Dock would be built a few years after this photograph was taken. Take a look:
According to reports, John Bradley always wanted a restaurant on the shore and the Bradley’s thrived under his stewardship. New York’s high society and politicians alike became regular customers, including the Vanderbilts,
the Astors, William Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker, prize ďŹ ghter Jack Dempsey, Broadway legend George M. Cohan, humorist Will Rogers and many others. The Bradley family reach
stretched beyond the hotel, constructing the Bradley Building where Brothers All Market stood for several decades at 83 Main Street. Later, the Bradley family bought and developed property across from the train station and John’s two children, Herbert and Irma had avenues named for them. They ran the hotel after their father’s death in 1943, ďŹ nally selling the aging restaurant in 1959. The hotel ďŹ nally caught ďŹ re in February, 1962, ending almost a century of the ďŹ nest dining and hospitality ever seen in these parts.

Looking back: the history of the Port Washington Police District Continued from Page S12 quate 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 in-
creased 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

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Port’s Field of Dreams, 1903 BY R O S S LUMPKIN Today our Manhasset nine are crossing bats with the clam diggers and no doubt it’s going to be a rowdy affair. Let’s hope it doesn’t get out of hand the way it did last time, and the rivalry stays on the ball field. Port has a fast team, but we aren’t as slow as they think, and I’m thinking they could be in for a surprise because we’ve got a crack twirler in the box. It’s standing room only on the train. Two minutes after we packed in like sardines in Manhasset and left the station, the train stopped somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It seems that the conductor needed extra time to punch tickets.
S64
While we wait, we start making some noise for our boys. It’s crowded, hot, and sweaty. In other words, it stinks. The entrance to Bradley’s Field is across the street from the railroad station alongside of the Central Hotel. Passing through the gate, you come into foul territory in the outfield along the left field line. Over on the right, there are benches around the infield for the teams and the rooters. Looks like the clam diggers have got the best seats. Beyond the infield, there’s nothing but trees. But first I’m going to get a Wurzburger and look for a local to give me good odds on the game. That shouldn’t be too hard since their rooters are riding high these
Across from the train station, about where Dunkin’ Donuts is today days and don’t realize how good we are. Last time I was here, you couldn’t get a drink in this part of town. Bradley has been good enough to open a bar and grill in the hotel. Bradley’s bar, Bradley’s grounds, Bradley’s nine. He’s even got some
rooms to rent in the hotel, and I forgot to mention that he is the manager of the team for the Port Washington Field Club, which is how it came to be called Bradley’s team. Nobody’s making much money passing the hat during the game, but
with the crowds coming here on Sundays to socialize and have a good time, he’s doing just fine. When a player hits the horsehide into the trees behind home plate, the opposing team has to fetch it. Same goes if a hickory hefter hits a home run.

The difference is that home run territory here is cow pasture. When “Husky” Erb steps up to the plate, the clam diggers go wild. I’m guessing he’s semi-pro. As much as they want a corker into the cow pasture to win the game, I think they want to see one of our boys step in some cow dung. Husky let them down this time, and we went on to win 2-1. I left with enough money to pay for the beer and the ride home. And a noisy ride it was, no matter the crowd or the heat or the smell.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Photos show the old Port Washington BY R O S S L U M P K I N Although the etching on the left of the image may look like hieroglyphics, it’s actually the photographer’s notation, “P-237,� from the original negative printed in reverse. The letter “P� stands for Port and his notes for 237 tell us we are looking at Miss Spencer and Mr. Landis on Carlton Avenue in February 1909. The Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society received a donation of thousands of original negatives and glass plates of photographs such as this that John S. Witmer Jr. took all over Port Washington in the early 20th century. “P-237� is one of the images from this treasure trove that Chris Bain is in the process of culling and cataloging. There’s more to come. For now, we have this photo that Witmer took from the corner of Third and Carlton
looking south into the valley where Stannard Creek runs toward the bay. Spencer was a school teacher who became Witmer’s wife in 1911. Landis may be the husband of Shirley Landis, who founded the Rose Shop on Main Street that was regarded as a premier fashion store. (First names were not recorded.) Landis, in a bowler hat, digs the heels of his shoes into the snow, ready for takeo. Spencer, in a long skirt, is leaning forward, about to give him a push. Together, their dark ďŹ gures form a triangle in the foreground. The line of the sloping hill behind them converges with the road in the distance. The two houses on Carlton are still there. The one closer to us (49 Carlton) was built by Charles Cocks in 1898. His father, Solomon Cocks, had major property holdings (the Cock’s Farm) on the north side

Carlton Avenue, 1909 of the Mill Pond. Like his father, Cocks was a builder and purchased lots in his own neighborhood that were emerging from the breakup of the Mitchell Farm. In fact, he built the house next door in 1908 for his son. They are similar struc-
tures: Victorian, front facing gables, symmetrical facades, steep pitched roofs, and front porches. It is likely that Cocks used plans from one of the many architectural guidebooks that were popular with builders who were working for an emerging middle class that
could aord to build homes with some style. The far background is too blurry to identify with any certainty; is that a church spire? At any rate, today the view is blocked by the apartment development on the other side of Stannard Creek. That ďŹ re hydrant poking out of the snow is still there. What is it about an old photograph that makes it so fascinating? It could be a family photo that preserves our memories or a historical one that tells us about our collective past. If we are willing, it may stimulate our imagination; perhaps the Cocks families will come out on their front porches to see if Mr. Landis sleds smoothly by or crashes in a snow bank.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
The Town Crier and the March King BY R O S S LU M P K I N Outdoor concerts, popular movies and beautiful sunsets at the Sousa Bandshell have delighted residents and visitors to Sunset Park in Port Washington for more than 50 years – made possible by a special connection between two residents who came from two different worlds. In 1908, Gay Pearsall was 7 years old, living in an old house on Third Avenue that her grandfather had built, when she suffered the first of three devastating losses she would experience in the course of her life. Her mother’s death made her the “little mother” of the family, taking on cooking and cleaning chores for her father and three brothers. Around the same time, John Philip Sousa bought a home in Sands Point in 1914 at the age of 59 and was a wealthy and accomplished composer putting down roots for his family. His had been a life of hotel rooms and touring with the band. Prior to the arrival of a King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, his own fans had anointed Sousa “The March King.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Gay joined the Campfire Girls when she was 15. She must have relished the chance to escape her all-male household for feminine companionship and guidance. The Campfire Girls instilled in her a sense of patriotism and unselfishness that inspired her to a life of community service. She married young, but after just 14 years of marriage, tragedy struck for the second time in 1932 when her husband died, leaving her to raise their only daughter on her own. John Phillip Sousa died that same year and left behind a remarkable legacy as a composer, a bandleader, an author, and even an inventor. The nation mourned his loss. Though he and his marches will always be associated with the Marines, they are not war-like in sprit. They are patriotic celebrations of a youthful country emerging as a world power. Gay was resilient, remarried several years later, and went on to become a prominent community leader. Her new home in Baxter Estates was a gathering place for like-minded friends, involved
in community activities. Of special note was her service in World War II on the home front: as a plane spotter at the Guggenheim Tower in Sands Point, a fundraiser for a Liberty PT boat, and as a guide for the Mitchell Air Force base in Hempstead. Her outgoing personality made her a perfect town crier to lead the Memorial Day Parade on Main Street. Dressed in full period costume, ringing a bell, and waving her baton, she marched to the music of John Philip Sousa. Her energy was said to be contagious, and that energy was fueled by the March King. The third blow came in 1961 when her second husband died. This time, she was not as resilient and fell into a prolonged depression. According to Gay, “It was a series of dreams that pulled me out of it. In these dreams, John Phillip Sousa came to me and told me to build him a bandshell. I never saw him; it was just his voice speaking to me.” She acknowledged that some people thought this was “eccentric.” Maybe not so eccentric, for the March King had been speaking to her for many years when she was leading those parades down Main Street. The exuberant patriotism of his music possessed her and she channeled that energy to the crowd. Music can do that. You’re skeptical? Try listening to “Stars and Stripes Forever” (on YouTube conducted by Leonard Bernstein) and imagine yourself leading the parade.
Whether you buy in or not, Gay did jump out of bed and put her renewed energy into a four-year campaign to raise funds to build a bandshell in the memory of John Philip Sousa. Local, national, and international fans of Sousa responded, and a finished bandshell was dedicated in 1968. There is a time capsule buried in front of the bandshell to be opened in 2068 with names of the donors who made it possible, people like Kathleen Norris, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Princess Grace. Two extraordinary citizens from two different worlds with a common goal, the town crier and the March King set ideal examples of what it means to contribute to the common good.
Postscript In colonial times, a town crier was a government official who made public announcements of state policies – ringing a bell for attention, posting the written policy, and reading it aloud to the townspeople. That is why, as newspapers took over that role, many named themselves “Post”. Both Gay Pearsall’s town crier costume and John Philip Sousa’s uniform currently are on display at the Sands Willets House-Museum. Tours resume in May.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Port Washington’s little church that could BY R O S S LUMPKIN The late Rev. D.L. Austin established the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in his own home in 1920 with six other founding members. He was a skilled carpenter who set out at once to build a house of God on the corner of Avenue A and Valley Road and moved his congregation there in 1921. The original building was the essence of simplicity: 18 by 36 feet, a gable roof, a clapboard exterior – a ďŹ ne example of vernacular church architecture in the early 20th century. Austin was fond of saying “this church will be too small to be played with, and a little too small to be played in, just large enough to serve the Lord.â€? His words ring true 98 years later. The six founding members gave shelter to many Afro-Americans migrating from the south to work in
the great estates in nearby Sands Point. Sister Marjorie Simon, the granddaughter of Austin, remembers her mother telling her that her grandmother always told the newcomers: “You live in my house, you come to my church.â€? Thus, the congregation grew. Back then, church on Sundays at Mount Pleasant was an all-day aair that included morning services, Sunday school, a community lunch, socializing, recreation, and games. It was a time for the church members to gather together for a day of rest away from the chores of everyday life. Mount Pleasant is in a neighborhood once known as Hicksville. Its boundary ran along Middle Neck Road across from what is now the Sands Point Village Club, down Harbor Road to Valley Road, and back up Avenue C. It was named after John Hicks who had farmed the land in the late nineteenth

century, and had a home and a barn across the street from Mount Pleasant Church. In the mid-twentieth century, Hicksville, an ethnic mix of Afro-American, Polish, and Italian workers, ourished. Italian entrepreneurs ran a grocery store, a
shoe repair, and a pool room nearby on Avenue A. On the other side of Avenue A, there was a Polish meat market, and just up Valley Road, the PolishAmerican Hall was built in 1937. Mount Pleasant stands as a cultural reminder

of that time. Simon looks back fondly on her time in Hicksville: “Whenever someone needed help, the community pulled together to help out. That’s what it was like.â€? When she left home to attend nursing school in the ‘50s, she was taken aback by the racial tension she encountered away from Port. In 1990, the footprint of Mount Peasant was extended on the east and south sides to create oďŹƒce and meeting space. Wheelchair access was added. The axis of the nave shifted from N-S to E-W and a rounded window behind the pulpit was added for light. The alterations did not diminish its spiritual and architectural integrity. The current pastor, James Furman, likes to talk about the “power of collective faith.â€? He comes across in private conversation as a warm, soft-spoken man who is more interested in listening than talking; but when
he steps up to the pulpit, he proves himself to be a dynamic and inspiring speaker. Congregants sing and clap with enthusiasm and have the opportunity to speak about their faith. This house of God in which they worship speaks to us about their faith as well. The small, interior space fosters their belief in an intimate relationship with Jesus. Its architecture exudes the same honesty, simplicity, and humility that characterizes the congregation. The congregation, in turn, has preserved both the building and its spirit, and so the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church has endured for almost 100 years. Ross Lumpkin is a trustee of the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society, www.cowneck.org
The history of the Port Washington Fire Department Continued from Page 11 In the early years a major problem was alerting the members of a ďŹ re. The edgling phone system was based in the old village (lower Main Street). Although a bell was located on Flower Hill Hose Company’s ďŹ rehouse 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 ďŹ res. In the same respect when the bell at Flower Hill was rung it might not be heard in the old village. The ďŹ reďŹ ghters 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 ďŹ rehouse. Fire calls were made to the Long Island Railroad oďŹƒce 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 ďŹ reďŹ ghters who lived in those outlying areas. Later, in 1968, the alerting system was augmented by “Plectronâ€? 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 ďŹ res. The wear and tear on the vehicle was a substantial personal expense for
a chief oďŹƒcer. In 1957 the Department purchased its ďŹ rst Chief’s car. The Port Washington News reported it was, “equipped with a two way radio and special spot lights as well as a ďŹ re siren. It is expected to play an important role in ďŹ re ďŹ ghting in this area.â€? The ambulance had been housed at a private garage since the service ďŹ rst 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 ďŹ scal accountability as well. This burden severely stressed both the administrative and line oďŹƒcers, all of whom had to devote as much
time to paperwork as they did to ďŹ reďŹ ghting. So, during the 1990s the Department altered its structure to include an administrative board of directors and a paid oďŹƒce 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, ďŹ ghting ďŹ res and responding to EMS incidents. Today, like all volunteer ďŹ re 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.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Three sculptures by artist Jerry Shore BY R O S S LUMPKIN
Snowbirds The Bay Walk Park in Port Washington North is the most ambitious public project on our peninsula in a long time. The driving force behind its conception, its design, its funding, and its construction is the town’s mayor, Robert Weitzner. In his role as curator, looking for works by local artists whose work reflected Port’s culture and history, the mayor met Jerry Shore in his studio on Valley Road. He found and acquired a perfect fit in Snowbirds. It resonates with one of the great pleasures of living in Port Washington – the pleasure of walking along Manhasset Bay in the evening. In Autumn or Spring, you may hear the sound of migrating birds call out for attention, and look up to see them flying in formation. As proud as the mayor was to give Snowbirds a place on the Bay Walk, he was likewise distressed a few years later in early 2014 to find that someone vandalized it, tearing one of the six birds from the sculpture. It isn’t the sort of crime that is easily solved, but what made it truly mysterious is that the sculpture was anonymously restored shortly thereafter. Researching this column, I learned who made the repairs. My first thought was to let it be, and tell the story on one of the Historical Society’s Magical History Tours, for it would go well with another
mystery near Snowbirds. Out in the bay, a citizen who prefers to remain anonymous planted an American flag on a mound of rocks to remember the victims of 9/11. But to know the secret reveals something important about Jerry Shore, his family, and closure. His daughter Robin told me: “My brother Peter and I are the two people who repaired the vandalized piece… We saw it as an honor to repair the piece for my father who had already died at that point.”
Red Sails Shore told Mayor Weitzner he was inspired to make this piece when he saw some sailboats out in the bay at sunset. Their white sails had turned red. Robin Shore said of her father: “He was not afraid to fail. He never avoided something due to fear. He approached his sculpture this way as well. He wasn’t afraid of using color, of critics’ opinions, of trying something new, of messing up a piece he was working on – he was always open to the endless possibilities in anything he attempted. Being an artist can be a vulnerable and revealing profession, but my father did not worry about others’ opinions. He was determined to be free in his studio.

HO/80 HO/80 was a gift that Shore gave to one of his best friends, Howard Olian on his 80th birthday. Howard and his wife JoAnne kept it outside their home until Howard ‘s death in 2007. When she sold the house and moved to Manhattan, she donated the sculpture to the Sands Point Village Club with
HO/80 Shore’s permission. HO/80 seems perfectly placed in its new location on the lawn that stretches down from the Village Club mansion to Hempstead Harbor.
Red Sails As you circle around HO/80, its geometric shapes direct your attention outside yourself to the world around you; the view across the Hempstead Harbor to Sea Cliff, the
sloping landscape, the mansion on the hill, and the sky above. Ross Lumpkin is a trustee of the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society, www.cowneck.org.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Port’s first postmaster was a postmistress BY R O S S LU M P K I N Suzanna A. Brunner was born in 1858 on Dodge’s Island (now Manhasset Isle) to German immigrants. They moved to 1 Sandy Hollow Road when Suzie was a little girl, and she died in the same house in 1933. As a young woman, she became Port Washington’s first postmistress. She carried the mail between Port Washington and Great Neck on unpaved roads come rain or shine, and sometimes in darkness through desolate stretches in a buggy drawn by her horse, William J. Tilden, whom she broke to harness herself. She had a gun and a whip to ward off thieves, animals and individuals who didn’t approve of a woman doing a man’s job. Bringing mail to town made her an integral part of the community and she was known to all. She has been described as “a Western lady
Suzie Brunner with her horse, Mr. Tilden pioneer,” “a sturdy country lass,” “a tough customer,” “a young German girl with welldeveloped arms,” and “a devil of a mail carrier.” She would horsewhip a would-be thief, and it was rumored that she had once killed a man. That rumor has been a matter of controversy for local historians. Thanks to the
digital age and Google search, we now have an article from an unlikely source, the Photographic Times, entitled, “The End of a Traveling Photographer” that sheds light on the question. The unlucky photographer came from Syracuse and was working in and around Flushing. He had fallen on hard
times and was last seen on the morning of Oct. 26, 1881, leaving town in his wagon “the worse for liquor.” The next day he was found unconscious lying in Jamaica Road with an “unnatural blackness in his eyes and bruises on his body.” Two days later he died. While Susie Brunner admitted to a reporter “that the day previous to his death she gave him a thrashing with the butt of her whip in the face and the eyes for bad conduct in a state of intoxication,” the story concludes that “the prevalent belief is that he died during an attack of delirium tremens.” Her life settled down when she left the post office. She worked on the family farm and plowed fields with Mr. Tilden all over Port Washington. She became the janitor for the public school at the top of the hill above the Mill Pond and opened a store that catered to the children walking up and down the hill. Around that
time, she got another nickname, “Aunt Suzie.” She was frugal and invested in real estate. A 1908 map shows that she owned three properties around Sandy Hollow Road. When the Main Street School was built, she purchased the old school and moved it across the street to one of her properties, where it still stands, converted into a residence but still recognizable. Her home, the Samuel Dodge House, is almost 300 years old and stands on the corner of Harbor and Sandy Hollow roads. It is a fine example of early vernacular residential architecture. The current owners recently installed a Historic Designation Plaque from the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society to honor our first postmistress.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
A treasure hunt in Port Washington BY R O S S LUMPKIN Those of us who rely on the internet or phone service to order owers instead of paying a visit to a local orist miss out on the old-fashioned retail experience. And if you live in Port Washington, I am not talking about smelling the owers. I’m talking about a hidden treasure from 100 years ago. • Hint No. 1: You can ďŹ nd it at S.F. Falconer, Florist. • Hint No. 2: It’s not a ower. • Hint No. 3: You need to know a little local history. Fred Falconer’s grandfather, Simon Frederick, came to the US in the early 20th century from Scotland where he had been trained in gar-
Fred’s grandfather Simon minding the store. dening and agriculture. He found work in Jericho and later as the head groundskeeper and greenhouse supervisor at the Harry Guggenheim Estate in Sands Point. He must have been politi-
cally savvy and a model employee, for when he decided to resign and go into business for himself, he departed on very good terms. So good, in fact, that Harry gave the young
entrepreneur his wholehearted support. First, he turned his considerable estate business over to him, a gesture that paved the way for other estate holders in Sands Point to do business with S.F. Fal-
coner, Florist. Then came our hidden treasure. Since Harry was now outsourcing his business, he gave Simon the Guggenheim greenhouse he had been supervising. They moved it to Simon’s property on South Maryland where it still functions as one of four greenhouses. The exact year of the move and of the founding of his business is between 1920 and 1924, depending on whom you are talking to. It is also a matter of credible speculation that Simon himself may have built the greenhouse for the Guggenheims ďŹ ve or ten years before. Falconer has been a family business in the truest sense. As much a gathering place for the family as it is a business, it has been passed from father
to son for three generations from Simon to Fred and now to Fred Jr. Spouses and siblings were always a part of its operation. Children grew up there, learning the business from the bottom up. Now that the Guggenheim greenhouse has passed its 100th anniversary and S.F. Falconer is about to, Fred has placed a Historical Designation Plaque from the Cow Neck Historical Society in the greenhouse to honor the occasion and simplify your treasure hunt. If you do visit, please take a moment to smell the owers and consider the history around you. Ross is a Trustee at the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society, www. cowneck.org.

PORT WASHINGTON HISTORY
Out-of-towner Thomas Dodge buys 202 acres in Port Washington Picture yourself at the head of the Mill Pond, with Diwan Restaurant on your left (originally the Grapevine Hotel (circa 1870) and then The Hotel Renwick (circa 1914)). You are looking east on Mill Pond Road, with the pond on your right. Walking up this road today, you’d pass the Thomas Dodge Homestead on your right, then the Water Pollution Control District, and an old cemetery on a hill. If you were to continue on past the Tennis Academy, past Harbor Homes, and then across Port Washington Blvd, east down Astor Lane, with the Village Club of Sands Point on your left (formerly one of Sand’s Point’s Guggenheim Estates), you would eventually reach Hempstead Harbor. If you took this trip in the late 18th century you would have just traced the northern border of the Dodge family property, from Manhasset Bay all the way to Hempstead Harbor. Reaching from sea to shining sea, as it were, across the Cow Neck Peninsula, the property was approximately 620 acres. Needless to say, that was quite a chunk of what is now Port Washington. Can you just imagine what it would be worth today? It didn’t start out that large, however. When Thomas, Tristram III and Samuel Dodge moved to Cow Neck from Block Island in 1718, Thomas purchased the first 202 acre parcel of land. Subsequent purchases were made by Thomas and then the pieces were sold to each of the other Dodges. For the next 150 years the property would remain home to seven generations of the Dodge family. Thomas first built a log cabin on
S78
his parcel and later in the 1700’s; he built much of the homestead that still stands today, making it one of the exigent buildings on Long island. Henry Thomas Dodge and his daughter Marie (d. 1998) were the last residents of the Dodge Homestead. In 1896 he wrote this about the property: The location of the house seems to be determined by the proximity of the “Old Indian Spring” immediately in front of it, and on the edge of the millpond, formerly the Cove. The cellar was first dug where the garden now is, but the next morning about six inches of water being found in it, a new one was dug further up the hill, in a dryer spot. This was early in 1700. The south end of the house (always called “the shop”) was used for weaving, there being a loom there. Thomas, the brother of Henry O. Dodge, was a
weaver by trade. In this room, during the revolutionary war, twelve Hessians were stationed all one winter. The “Indian Spring” was walled up by the Dodges, as now in use. The present aged beech tree that overhangs it is of peculiar, low spreading shape, on account of cutting off the top branches, so that the fine view from the house windows should not be obstructed. Its bark is covered with initials, cut in; the oldest inscription is T. D., 1807, being my uncle Thomas…* Presently, There are several other structures on the property including a two-horse barn, an organic vegetable garden (tended by Grassroots volunteers), a chicken coop and a vintage 3-seater outhouse – the only one still in existence in Port Washington! On Saturday, May 13th, from 1 to 5 pm, step back in time at Cow Neck
