"A little known fact about P.S. 99's construction is that a private house, known as the Driscoll house (today's 82-46 Kew Gardens Road), once sat on the school's present site and had to be rolled on logs across the street to a new site in order to make way for the new building. The contractor who built the school and did the move, George Driscoll, lived in the 'rollable' house for the next fifty years."

Quote from: Barry Lewis, Kew Gardens: Urban Village in the Big City, p. 60 (Kew Gardens Council for Recreation and the Arts 1999).
