1941 Hollis Hills Aerial Map

Hollis Hills in the history

Can you spot where your home is? Wink

Please see the Hint Here!

This dramatic March 1941 aerial shows the Hollis Hills homes around the Motor Parkway being built. Note the unusual curve of the Motor Parkway near Peck Avenue. I believe this parkway route was built to take advantage of an existing abandoned railroad bridge at that location.Also, compare the width of the Motor Parkway in comparison with Union Turnpike.

Brings back memory, huh?! Sealed
