This Stern and Price home was very representative of tract housing of the 1950s. Built in 1952, it served its residents well until January 2010. Some cosmetic up–grades had been made in recent years, but the original built-in ironing board was still there!

It was surprising to see how much effort went into leveling this house. It wasn't exactly a pushover! Another similar house, but enlarged, on East Meadow was demolished at the end of December, 2009.
