My Swiss Grandparents, Louis and Theresa RYF, farmed and lived on the old "Mitchell Estate", in Bellrose with their 7 children. They farmed from the 1900's until about 1934. It stood right where Jamacia and Braddock Ave meet. The Estate was sold in 1934 to build the Cross Island Parkway. From there they moved to Elmont and Franklin Square, to farm the land and to truck it to The Area near the Brooklyn Fish Market. I remember my Dad, Louis Ryf Jr, saying that the new Nassau county line came right thru the center of the house, so some of the children were born in Queens and some in Nassau.County...depending on which bedroom they were born in... I was wondering if there were any pictures of this house, as it was so large that another family, The Walters and their children lived there too.? Thank you for the help. Pat Ryf Long Island, NY
