Judy, thanks for bringing this to our attention. This is exciting!! This should not be destroyed -- The condominium should put in a new road. Has anyone checked to see who the property belonged to in the mid-1800s? Maybe a member of that family has an idea what they were doing. How much money would it have cost to buy bricks or pay people to make the bricks, excavate the land and do the masonry work? Who would have had that kind of money in those days? Keep us former New Yorkers updated on happenings! Joan R. Plantinga San Jose, CA ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
