Looking up from Main Street
Jerusalem Avenue at W. Marie St.
The apartment house was formerly the house lot of William Simonson
in 1910. The apartments were built in the late 1930's
Mary's Luncheonette in center, a private house( recessed to the right ) and the left side of the old Goldman Bros. store to the right.
Mary's Luncheonette was manned in the 1960's by Mary O'Shaughnessy at the counter and her sister Pat in the kitchen.
Looking North on Broadway. Sheiner's Drug store to left and St.Ignatius Church to right. The bldg. to the far right was the first Catholic grade school, later the parish hall, and still later torn down.
The 3rd telephone pole to the left is the corner of W. Nicholai St.
At this time good smells were still coming out of the bakery and the Sweet Shop was still there... Whelan Drugstore was The Sportsman's Hotel before it became Henry Huettners second Store. In 1925 it was Curt Unverhau's Drug store. Williams Hardware is to the left of Whelan's bldg. It was gone in 1967 and Whelans took the space.
Now Nelson Ave. To the left, J. Kasten house. To the right house of Mrs. O. Menken, 1914. Olma Marie Menkin was the daughter of John Heitz. Her husband was John Henry Menken, of NYC, 1858–1893, m 1890, two two children. I imagine Olma inherited a decent amount of property from the father, John Heitz. She is shown as the owner of various properties in Hicksville. I have not located a picture of Olma Marie, born in 1862, no known date of death. In the 1890's she was living with her brother in NYC.
These stores were built in early 1950. Torn down in 1967. To the left was a recessed private house on the north side of Mary's Luncheonette. The corner was the site of the Just Rite Bakery owned by Anton Morschner before that the bakery was in 1895, owned by D. Wetterau.
Gus Reidlinger's towing service & garage. Botto Bros. Hardware to the right. Mid Island Herald newspaper offices were upstairs, over the store.
One of Gus's nieces married Charlie Finger of Farmingdale who owned an electrical business there with his father. Gus was a large solid man, always wearing a pair of fisher stripe coveralls.
To the right where Sherwood Photographers is, was the Medical office of
Dr. Stilger Sr. in the early 1950's . It was a wooden building with a porch and two front doors. It was torn down to build the present building. Before that it was the home of C.H.Voigt who was the funeral director. He had a sash and blind factory with a planing mill on Nicholai St. opposite the Catholic School. Everything on the left is destroyed. The Central Federal Savings Bank is shown under the RR track.
Henry Huettner's Dept. store on the right corner. The tall building past the second car was on the SW corner of Nicholai St. The building to the left of the school children is the Kallert building, the next one was the Frank Marrs store and Hq. for his auction company. The Kallert site was previously the location of the Union Chapel Church. Church property ran from the corner of E. Marie St. south to the end of the existing Church. The property may have been gifted to them by John F, Heitz. To the S of the Church was a house owned by Ernest Liebke, Merritt Horner's stepfather in law, Merritt Horner, the Mgr. of Heinz Pickle Works. The Frank Marrs building was the location of a shoe repair business in the 1960's. In 1873, the corner site of Huettner's store was a store and saloon run by A. Lauck. In 1895 it was the Germania Hotel. In 1893 it was run by August Schreiber. Huettner’s Store was built in 2 sections, the 2 bays to the left were the later addition built on property owned by Mrs. Junke. The second building was shown as a saloon on the 1895 map.
