Lefferts Avenue

The Southeast Queens Express writes:
Lefferts Boulevard is the last remaining testimony to the existence of a civicly active, landowning family. The Lefferts lived in one of the five farms later bought by Albon Man, the eventual founder of Richmond Hill. Lefferts Avenue, which is what it was originally called, was in place by 1905.
The circa 1914 picture shows a very old house that stood on Lefferts Avenue (Boulevard) one lot south of 85th Avenue on what is, today, the entrance to the Kew Court Apartments.
