This is the sight of the old Lalance-Grosjean Factory. It was the biggest employer and factor in bringing families to Woodhaven in late 1800s. At the time Ozone Park was part of Woodhaven. Later it developed as a separate neighborhood. I'm not sure when the factory closed, but believe it was in the early 1960s. I lived a few blocks from the site. My family moved in the late 1960s. Regretfully Ozone Park is not what it was in those days.

Video ends on Empire Blvd. At 13:02 Ebbets Field Apartments is seen on the left, the site where the Brooklyn Dodgers played prior to their move to Los Angeles after the 1957 season. The iconic Ebbets Field stadium was demolished in 1960). I lived on Bedford Ave between President St & Carroll St as a child in the 1970's. And as a big baseball fan, I thought frequently about what might have been: so disappointed the team left, the ballpark demolished and replaced by that ugly development. It took decades for the surrounding area to recover.
Hey, CABA Tracker muy buenas tomas y buenas imágenes de Roosevelt ... me recuerda cuando caminaba mucho por esos alrededores años atrás ... buen trabajo está haciendo CABA Tracker con estos videos !!
I love watching these videos, they’re not only a time capsule for my home over the years but also leaves me wondering what would’ve happened if I had stayed in New York instead of moving to pennsylvania during middle school. Great video!
Thanks for showing my old neighborhood back in the early 1970s. Lived at 754 Washington Avenue between Sterling Place and Park Place. That fortress building across the street is the satellite 77 police precinct. It's still standing.
For anyone who lived down here in the 80s like me, was the building that became the Game Zone store a video store called Video Maniacs? I lived around the corner and I was trying to remember exactly which building it was. Any help would be appreciated!
