Flushing Archives

The images in this gallery capture Flushing from the 1950's to the present. Many photos were taken from the same location over this span of time, they show both enduring landmarks and dramatic change. Since starting this site over 4 years ago I have been continuing to get a great response for pictures from my old home town, now averaging about 10,000-20,000 views a month. I will be revising an expanded version of a Flushing History photobook for 2013 so keep posted. Requests and comments are always welcome!

    Lions guarding 139-12 34th road, from November 1973.
    Right off Union Street at 138-11 35th Avenue, is what used to be known as PS 23 "Lincoln School". It became a "600" school for troubled kids in 1965 and now is known as the Queens Academy High School, for kids looking to finish High School after running afoul of the system. At one time they had black boards that were actually black slate, desks that still had ink wells, hard wood floors and a coal delivery chute in the back. Photo is from October 1973, although it has not changed much from the outside except for the sign.
    P.S. 23 Lincoln School, 35th Avenue, October 1973.
