Queens, New York, boasts a diverse history filled with numerous impressive houses that have not garnered much attention. These remarkable residences, ranging from farmsteads to mansions, seaside retreats, and architecturally significant community dwellings, were once owned by various notable figures including America's forefathers, nouveau riche industrialists, Wall Street tycoons, and prominent African American entertainers of the Jazz Age. Renowned community journalist Rob MacKay and author of the book Historic Houses of Queens, joins Bayside Historical Society for an intriguing exploration of the historically significant residences in Queens and the noteworthy individuals who once called them home.
