Amityville Long Island Photos of 2004

          I went to Amityville and took pictures of places I remembered from childhood like the schools I went to, Amityville beach that I had would go to until swim. The villages Stores I shopped in and the dock where I hung out with my childhood friends. I also took photos of the new Library and the village clock. I hope they bring back fond memories and you enjoy them.

Park North School in 2004

 I believe it was built around 1898 and once served as K to 12 for the Surrounding area as far away as Seaford. When I went there 1947 to about 1951 it held the First to third grades. I remember the there was a little gym with a stage on the second floor. The building had a fire sometime in the late 1950’s and the fire door automatically closed limiting the fire damage, amazing everyone for the doors were installed fifty years earlier. I remember having to go down the basement of the building where they looked at our head with a blue light.

The five and Ten cent store was always one of my favorite Store when I was a kid I Knew right where they kept to toys. It was probably never a good as I remembered it.
