Description

In the 1890s; electric lighting and improved roads were just the beginning of the changes about to take place in Flushing; New York. Once a rural village of wide-open farms and magnificent estates; Flushing transformed into a community of more than 200;000 people and quickly became one of the busiest neighborhoods in Queens. Flushing explores these dramatic changes with many never-before-seen images. Jason D. Antos is the author of three other local history books: Whitestone; Shea Stadium; and Queens.
