The 1880 map shows 20th Avenue (stores) under water as well as what is now 11th Avenue in Malba. With the railroad running up what is now the high ridge along 14th Avenue.
The 1898 map was 8 years before Malba was first laid out and that map never came to fruition.
Plate 2 shows only a few homes in Malba, probably around 1910.
I've included a rendering of my favorite French Normandy waterfront home in Malba. It has recently been sold will probably meet the wrecking ball soon, given that it was sold to people who have no love for grass.Keep up the good work.

The photo says Malba, LI, NY. I wonder since when has LI started to mean Nassau and Suffolk?
Malba used to have cache.
Now it's become a tasteless mecca
where one "goombah" tries to out do the other
with pompous ostentation.
We've heard of houses that have
outdoor kicthens featuring pizza ovens
by the swimming pool
and boasting as many as 7 bathrooms.
Now that's gotta be a real load of crap !

When they introduced two state abbreviation and zip codes in 1963.
These maps should be on Forgotten-NY.

ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A COPY OF PLANNING MAP FOR THE WHITESTONE BRIDGE???????
