I recently moved to Woodhaven from Brooklyn (lived in Williamsburg, Bushwick and Cypress Hills). It's an interesting underrated neighborhood that rarely receives any mention from the media. We can separate it into 3 areas and those are north of Jamaica Ave (large single family homes and apartment buildings, including rows), South of Jamaica Ave (mostly composed of Row houses) and east of Woodhaven Blvd (some newer developments, row houses, single family homes). There are also several landmarked buildings in the neighborhood. Nice article!
A Walk in WoodhavenI enjoyed reading this article,it was very informative, though it left me with more questions than I started with. I had found a fry pan clearly marked with Lalance and Grosjean Mfg Co. noted to be stainless steel but the name also stamped is Agate which according to the article would have been nickel / tin and or enameled which this is clearly not. I am looking for more information on when this may have been made and if was for commercial, military or public use. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
