The First P.S. 99

The large brick P.S. 99 building [next page] on Kew Gardens Road was not constructed until 1923. Before that, P.S. 99 was just a small, portable, wood schoolhouse located on Cuthbert Road one half block east of Lefferts Avenue (Boulevard). The ornate fence on the left side of the top picture was part of the Fleischman Estate which has since given way to the Beverly House Apartments. The brick stanchion is all that remains today of the original view.
