Block 510, Lot 53: Greek Revival
house (note eye-brow windows) on acre of land. The property anchors a block in
Old Astoria Village, a community of dozens of pre-Civil War homes and buildings.
Some of its streets are 350 years old. This is the most historic community in
the borough.
Block 510, Lot 58: Seperate lot
with entrance. May be the former cemetary of the 1838 Dutch Reformed Church in
the ajoining property. Church has gravestones from cemetary dumped in its back
yard. One stone for Stephen Halsey, the "Father of Astoria."
This is under extreme risk and
urgent action is needed. Each year serveral historic homes in the community are
destroyed. A construction fence is already around the property.
