Description
Sayville’s Suffolk County News reported in 1936:
“The men of the WPA are at work laying a cement sidewalk along the north side of Merrick road** [in Bayport, N.Y.] between Sylvan and Snedecor avenues. This is a much needed improvement, several people have been hurt while walking in the street there.”
**The road in question, given the cross streets, is most likely what is now known as Middle Road.
