THEN AND NOW
On the Way To a Road More Traveled
HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE in East Meadow still had the appearance of a rural roadway when this photograph of the Bellmore Road intersection was taken on April 24, 1936, in preparation for construction of the Wantagh State Parkway extension. The photographer's camera is pointed to the west; the parkway is to pass just beyond the intersection.
The man holding the number is in the photograph for identification purposes.
