East Williston
Wheatley Hills Golf Club
The Motor Parkway (in blue) ran primarily north-south in East Williston, directly through the Wheatley Hills Golf Club, and west of today's Northern State Parkway. The Club is on the north side of East Williston Avenue (25B on the map) with several Motor Parkway posts lining both sides of 25B. The following Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper articles are from May and June of 1914 and describe the Motor Parkway in relation to the golf club. The photos show the posts which are very noticeable, albeit through some bushes.
May 4, 1914
June 5, 1914
