The News of Richmond Hill

New York, 1895

Neils Pederson is building a cottage on Jefferson avenue to cost $3,000.

Joel Fowler & Bro. have sold to Brooklyn parties a lot on the corner of Stoothoff and Atlantic avenues for $550.

E. A. Van Brunt and William Coulter will shortly commence the erection of two cottages on their property on Briggs avenue.

There are twenty-three new dwellings in the course of erection at Richmond Hill. Sixty houses have been erected in this vicinity since July, 1893.

The Richmond Hill glee club will give a masquerade ball at Columbia Hall on the evening of February 11th, the proceeds to go to the Jamaica hospital.
