pictures of the Good Old Days I wish to thank Alice Havlina and Warren Boyen two wonderful local historians who helped us with information regarding some of these photographs. John & Mike Leahy and their family have provided us with not only great pictures and information from 1915 that would have been lost with out their family history. If anyone has any old photographs of Sunnyside please contact our office, we would like to save some of our history before it is lost. Next time you go through your old pictures remember our office. Don't let anyone throw out the pictures, you so carefully preserved over the years. We are looking for pictures of the John F. Kennedy's picture at the Sunnyside Garden Arena, Mayor Jimmy J.Walker opening the Sunnyside Gardens Park on May 18, 1926, Gleason Centennial Hotel, Miller Hotel, (to mention a few) and any additional pictures of Sunnyside Pool, Sunnyside Theatre, 43 St. Theatre, Knockbocker Laundry Building, Jay Guild Tennis court at 45th Street & Queens Blvd. and anything else you may have of interest.
Anyone working on a history project should look to the Main Branch of our
Library in Jamaica. This branch had much of the information we were looking
for in old newspapers records. For their address and phone number check our Library site. to return to
