Author Description

On each page, a photograph at the top shows a scene from Queens County taken many many years ago, and below it the same scene photographed in the past year. Between the photographs is a history of what is in the photos: the businesses and buildings, when they opened or closed, when they were built or when they were demolished or destroyed by fire - a record of the changes through the years. Almost every community in Queens County is included, including smaller places like South Brookfield and Port Joli.
