Post AvenueThe Heart of Westbury

By Richard Panchyk

Post Avenue, named after aprominent Westbury family,runs north-south between

Jericho Turnpike and Old CountryRoad. It has been the nerve centerof the Village of Westbury for morethan 100 years, the go-to placewhere virtually anything could befound – from horse feed and sad-dles to ice cream and candy tosocks and shoes. In its original con-figuration, Post Avenue near Jeri-cho Turnpike was further east of itscurrent location, cutting throughthe Quaker property before meetingJericho Turnpike.

In the late 19th century, it wasmainly St. Brigid’s Church, farms,a couple of stores and residencesthat dotted the avenue. Post Avenuecame into prominence with theconstruction of the McKennaBuilding south of Maple Avenue,part of the first business block.During the first two decades of the20th century, numerous buildingsrose along Post Avenue. Thoughoriginally built to serve the needsof the population of Old Westburyto the north, as time passed moreand more people began to settle inWestbury proper. The businessescould now serve the residents ofboth communities, as well as thosewho worked at the Roosevelt AirField and the Meadow Brook Huntand Polo clubs.

The development of Post Avenuehappened quickly between about1900 and 1925. Some of the build-ings that were constructed duringthose years were small, narrow af-fairs of one or two stories in height.A few were larger, such as the Tu-dor-style building at the corner ofPost and Drexel, and the three-storyDeferrari building at the corner ofWinthrop and Post. The most devel-oped area of early Post Avenue wasthe blocks immediately to the northof the railroad station. The corner ofMaple Avenue and Post Avenuewas a central location for the settle-ment. The building at the southwestcorner of Maple and Post, currentlyBenny’s Ristorante, has been arestaurant and/or hotel over theyears and an anchor on the cornersince the late 19th century. Photo-graphs from the early decades of the20th century depict a dirt road linedwith plentiful shade trees.

S. Marvin Barley ran a populardrugstore at 167 Post (founded1890), offering medicine, chemicals,sick room supplies, cigars, perfume,

stationery, ice cream soda and den-tistry, among other things. Beginningin 1915, a pharmacist named CharlesBauer opened the MeadowbrookPharmacy on Post Avenue, severalblocks north of Barley’s. The storeoffered the same goods as Barley’s,but also had a soda fountain and afew small tables. Bauer had trainedin New York City, and moved toWestbury from Hempstead. Once thetheater opened across the street inthe late 1920s, crowds would crossPost Avenue and get refreshmentsafter their movie let out. The shopwas open late, from 7 a.m. to wellafter 11 p.m.

In the early days, there was Mc-Carthy’s store on upper Post Av-enue, which sold a few groceries,penny candy, five-cent ice creamcones and school supplies. Therewas also a general store near therail crossing, first called Kelsey’s,then Schwickers. The WestburyCoal Yard was established in 1885by the Hicks family and was locat-ed on the south side of the railroadtracks. The Luessen’s Hotel wasanother important building in earlyWestbury, immediately convenientto the railroad station at the cornerof Post and Union Avenues. It wasbuilt around 1890 and run by AnnaLuessen and her husband, whobought the property with the aid ofa loan from Mrs. Luessen’s father.In the golden years of the early20th century, Luessen’s was justone of several hotels in Westbury.

MESSAGE FROM MAYOR PETER CAVALLAROThe Village of Westbury is a great place to live, recreate and do business. Blessed with an unparalleled location, with direct access to all major roads and public transportation, and close proximity to many major shopping, cultural, recreation and dining locations, Westbury has it all.

That’s why CNNMoney.com has twice in the past three years ranked Westbury as one of the Top 20 places to live in the United States for young single professionals to live. But, Westbury is also an ideal place to raise a family, and for seniors to stay close to their families and friends.

Over the past several years, Westbury has undergone a major revitalization. With the addition of new shopper parking, a new multi-use village square, hundreds of new units of multi-family living space near downtown, and the near-completion of a major renovation of the old Westbury Movie Theater into a new performing arts center, Westbury is on the rise. I invite you to come and see for yourself.

If you are looking for the ideal place to start, expand or relocate a business, you may qualify for the Westbury Business Improvement District’s Tenant Incentive Program. If you work in Queens or Manhattan, and want to put some space between you and where you work, come and take advantage of the easy 35 minute trip to the city from the Westbury Train Station on the LIRR’s main line. Or, if you are simply looking for a diverse, vibrant and fun community to live in or raise your family, Westbury is a great choice.

Please contact us at Village Hall, (516-334-1700) or visit our website at http://www.villageofwestbury.org for more information about all that Westbury has to offer. You can also find us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Village-of-Westbury-New-York/149161925131450?V=wall).

I hope to see you around town.

Peter I. CavallaroMayor


There were also a variety ofblacksmiths, hardware stores, sad-dleries and other horse-relatedshops. Barley’s and the Meadow-brook both sold horse supplies. TheFox and Ellison blacksmith shopwas located on Post Avenue northof where the Northern State Park-way currently crosses throughWestbury. Edwin Hicks remem-bered watching horses being shodat the blacksmith’s shop when hewas 8 years old:

“I admired seeing the blacksmithbuild up his forge fire with big handbellows, heat up a piece of steel,shape it on an anvil and weld onthe heel of the horse shoe; a bar togive the horses traction particular-ly in winter. The blacksmith wouldthen bend over and hold eachhorse’s leg while he held the horse-shoe against the hoof, heated up theshoe in the fire and then hammeredit to the shape wanted on the anvil.This would be repeated until a de-

sired fit was obtained when theshoe would be nailed to the hoof.”

Whatever early-20th centuryWestbury residents could not findon Post Avenue could always be or-dered by mail from Sears Roebuck.The 1909 mail-order catalog in-cluded a rocking chair for $3.95, amantle clock for $2.32, a bed withmattress for $7.95, a piano for $89,a violin for $3.85, a typewriter for$22.95 and a 100-piece Austrianchina dinner set for $13.95.

The first bank in town, the Bankof Westbury, opened in 1910 withjust two employees. In 1924, thebank relocated to a new building atthe corner of Maple and Post (stillstanding; for years it was the Bankof New York, now it is Chase). An-other bank, the Wheatley HillsBank, was first opened during themid-1920s. Its home was on thecorner of Scally Place and Post Av-enue (in the building that was laterto become the Nassau County Re-publican Headquarters).

Many families became well

known because of their Post Avenuebusinesses. One of the most well-known families was the Italian De-ferraris. The Deferraris had, at vari-ous times, a clothing store, a sta-tionery store, a radio/phonographstore, a real estate agency and aliquor store. Brothers Louis and JohnDeferrari ran the radio store, with thehelp of Louis’s son, Louis Jr.

As the village grew, there werenumerous places to eat. Luncheon-ettes, restaurants, ice cream parlors,pubs, candy shops and other eater-ies abounded. The very popularWheatley Hills Tavern was foundedin the 1930s and was run by theZaino family until the 1990s. It wasone of the hot spots in town; bymid-century it was catering bigWestbury events and functions,both civic gatherings and privateparties. Though the name of the es-tablishment has changed, it has re-mained a restaurant to this day.

Food shopping was also a neces-sity for the many new inhabitantsof Westbury Station/Westbury Vil-lage. A walk down to Post Avenueduring the 1920s and 1930s yieldeda wide variety of meats, fruits, veg-etables and baked goods.

Besides butcher shops and fruitstores, there was a Bohack’s marketat the corner of Post Avenue and

Maple Avenue. There was also anAtlantic & Pacific store in the Defer-rari Building at Post Avenue andWinthrop Avenue in the early yearsof the 20th century. The ancestor ofthe modern-day A&P, this was asmall, friendly store. The Great At-lantic and Pacific Tea Company wasfirst founded in 1859 in Elmira, NewYork. By 1915, they had more than1,500 store locations. The A&P even-tually moved across Post Avenue,near the intersection with Maple.

Some of the offerings in the early20th-century Westbury A&P storeincluded Quaker hominy grits forten cents, a can of pink salmon foreight cents, Jell-O for seven cents,Quaker Corn Meal for 10 cents, cat-sup for 15 cents, dates for sevencents, salt for seven cents, a loaf ofbread for 13 cents, a large jar ofA&P olives for 39 cents, matchesfor five cents, salad dressing for 29cents and A&P Grandmother’s Pan-cake Flour for 35 cents.

By 1927, Westbury had numer-ous clubs and associations, includ-ing the American Legion, CatholicDaughters of America, EpworthLeague, Religious Society ofFriends, Free and Accepted Ma-sons, Knights of Columbus and theOrder of the Eastern Star. Among

the groups with the largest mem-berships were the NeighborhoodAssociation (150 members) and theWestbury Board of Trade (175members; founded 1919).

Entertainment could be had at theWestbury Theater, built in the late1920s in Tudor style. Before that,movies were shown on the secondfloor of the old firehouse on PostAvenue. Later (1940s) there was apool hall upstairs in the old fire-house. Plenty of other recreationalactivities took place in Westbury,from social gatherings at one of theseveral ice cream or candy shops,to sports events at school, to rollerskating and ice skating at the West-bury Pond (now in Old Westbury).

The years 1929 and 1930 wereeventful for Westbury and for PostAvenue. In November 1929, asmall plane crashed at the intersec-tion of Post and Maple avenues.Then, just before midnight on Feb-ruary 2, 1930, the 50-year-old drug-

store owner Charles Bauer, propri-etor of the popular MeadowbrookPharmacy, was shot and killed bytwo unmasked robbers whom hehad chased as they panicked and at-tempted to flee the store. The rob-bers had entered the drugstore justas a crowd of moviegoers was leav-ing the theater. The two men fled ina car waiting outside. The thieveswere caught just 20 minutes later ina massive countywide police drag-net. Hilda Harris Finger remembersthat fateful night. Her father, bicy-cle shop owner Arthur Harris (whowas close friends with CharlesBauer), told his children to stay putas he ran to the scene of thetragedy. A temporary pharmacisttook over until Bauer’s sons com-pleted their pharmacological train-ing and took over.

Despite these incidents, tragedywas the exception on Post Avenue.Most Westbury residents have fondmemories of Post Avenue duringthe 20th century. When did Post

Avenue reach its zenith? That reallydepends who you ask. Post Avenuein 1930 was a thriving place, but sowas Post Avenue in 1950 or 1960.

The Post Avenue of the mid-20thcentury had a wide variety of busi-nesses, restaurants, and shops of allkinds. With the intense populationgrowth that Westbury experiencedduring the 1950s (incredibly, thepopulation doubled between 1950and 1960), Post Avenue became atruly vibrant Long Island down-town.

Nino’s on Post Avenue was aplace where you could get finefood, including wild game. Ninohimself was an enthusiastic hunter.The prices at Nino’s Restaurant(formerly Leussen’s Hotel and laterPiping Rock) on Post Avenue in1954 were as follows: tea, 15 cents;coffee, 25 cents; ice cream, 35cents; boiled potato, 40 cents; sliceof pie, 50 cents; clam chowder, 50cents; French fries, 60 cents; hamsandwich, 75 cents; salad, 75 cents;

turkey sandwich, $1.00; hot turkeysandwich, $1.75; spaghetti andmeatballs, $2.00; broiled porkchops, $2.50; Long Island duck-ling, $3.00; frogs’ legs, $4.00; steakfor two, $11.

Even into the 1970s, there wereplenty fruit and vegetable markets,butchers and meat markets, giftshops, stationery stores, varietystores, candy shops, luncheonettes,taverns, restaurants and hardwarestores/appliance stores on Post.Many a Westbury child enjoyed thevariety store called Smiles; it of-fered an enticing array of cheaptoys, sewing supplies, candy,school supplies and seasonal mer-chandise. Into the 1970s and 1980s,Post Avenue still had a hardwarestore and a paint store. Stefan’sBake Shop provided rolls, ryebread, Danishes and crumb buns toan eager crowd. Peter Prommers-berger, formerly of Manhattan Av-enue, remembers going to Stefan’sbeginning in 1956:

“What I remember most on Sun-day mornings, was that it felt like

half the village was there. Therewas a line from the counter circlingaround inside the store and some-times out the door. It was thebusiest retail establishment in West-bury. And you never failed to meet

a neighbor there.”Through the early 1990s, the

Westbury downtown continued tobe a thriving place that had an iden-tity all its own.

*The old-time hardware storewas a magical place where youcould find all manner of tools,paints and old-fashioned nuts andbolts; in effect, it was a varietystore for home repairs. One couldgo into a hardware store and spenda few cents for some nails, or buy alarge and expensive tool. Duringthe last 20 years, most of Long is-land’s independent hardware storeshave vanished. The “big box” homesupply store has supplanted themom-and-pop hardware store.

Post Avenue in 1950By 1950, Westbury had grown

tremendously. A small sampling ofthe businesses along Post shows at15 Post Avenue was Dom’s AutoRepairs; at 39 the Post Tavern (“Donot divorce your wife if she cannotcook, come to us.”); at 117 was theWestbury Coal Yard, Inc. (fuel oil,coal, wood and masonry materials);at 152 was Robert’s Floor Coverings(tile, linoleum, paints, wallpaper,carpeting); at 154 the *WestburyAppliance Co. Inc. (repaired televi-sions, refrigerators, washers, stoves,radios, phonographs); at 163 wasJay’s Stationery (“The FriendlyPlace to Shop.”); at 168 was Wheat-ley Hills Tavern (seating capacity of500, dancing nightly); at 173 was*Glynn Appliances, Inc. (repairedradios, washers, freezers, televi-sions, refrigerators); 178: Abbott’s(frosted foods, delicatessen and spe-cialties); at 179 the Westbury Studioof the Fine Arts, Inc. (dance instruc-tion by Mrs. Kall and Mrs.Waldecker); at 181 was E.W. StaabHardware & House Furnishings; at182 was the Westbury Fruit & Veg-etable Market (“If it Grows we Haveit.”); at 183 Seymours DepartmentStore; at 186 the Anthony BaroneBarber Shop; at 188 Wheatley HillsStationers (stationery, toys, maga-zines, newspapers); at 193 SmilesStores (5 and 10 cents, $1.00 andup); at 207 Nelson & Baldwin Sur-veyors; at 208 was Westbury Curtis-E Taxi; at 217 was Bake Shop, Inc.;at 219 Carmine J. Lagnese (real es-tate and insurance); at 223 I.Brown’s Men Shop (shirts, sportswear, hats); at 231 was Friar’s Bar &Grill; at 235 the Westbury Gift Shop(everything from greeting cards toluggage); at 237 Tear & Gershon(toys, cigars, stationery, greetingcards, athletic equipment); at 253the Westbury-Roslyn Fish Market;

at 259 *Cavallaro Home Appliance(repairs and sales for refrigerators,washers, freezers, televisions, ra-dios); at 263 the Westbury TradingPost (hardware, housewares, paints,brushes); at 278 Westbury Launder-It. Also on Post was the BohackFood Market at Post and Maple, andBarney McGuire (horseshoer).

*One of the big changes over theyears has been technology. Duringthe early to mid-20th century, manynew gadgets and appliances wereinvented. Following the phono-graph, which was invented byThomas Edison in the late 19th cen-tury, came the radio, television,washer, dryer and refrigerator.These early appliances were largeand heavy and filled with wires anda variety of electronics and nuts andbolts. When one broke down, it wasusually out of the question to buy anew one. For a fraction of the costof replacement, you could bringyour appliance to a repair shop.These shops were plentiful; as youcan see, Westbury in 1950 had atleast three such shops. Sometimes ashop served as an authorized repairlocation for a particular brand. Re-pairmen could take your applianceapart and replace various parts toget the appliance in working orderagain. Though all of these same ap-pliances still exist today, and mayhave some resemblance to their old-er counterparts on the outside, the“nuts and bolts” are completely dif-ferent. Cheaper production costshave made it much more affordableto buy a new appliance, and the ad-vent of complex computer circuitryhas made it harder to repair brokenones. Once common, appliance-re-pair shops have all but vanishedfrom the scene.

Post Avenue in 1956Between 1950 and 1960, West-

bury experienced its greatestgrowth. Post Avenue continued tothrive. At 140 Post was Russo’sShoe Store; at 151 was *Rocco’sStationery and Luncheonette; at 153the Meadowbroook Lunch; at 162the Martini Shoe Store; at 167 wasBarley’s Pharmacy; at 169 theWestbury Wine & Liquor Store; at170 Wheatley Hills Tavern; at 181was Staab’s Hardware; at 183 Sey-mour’s Westbury Department Store(“Clothes for the Entire Family.”);at 186 Salisbury Market (meat andpoultry); at 191 was the I.G.A. FoodMarket; at *193: Smiles Stores (va-riety); at 209 Joffone’s (fruit and

groceries); at 211 was WheatleyHills Chemists; at 215 *Joe Allen’sUnited Cigar Store (stationery, toys,chocolates); at 220 the WheatleyMarket (meat, groceries, frozenfoods); at 229 was Edward C. Etzel(insurance); at 234 Louis ParilloShoe Store; at 237 was *Tear &Gershon (variety, baseball equip-ment); at 239 Deferrari’s LiquorStore; at 249 the MeadowbrookPharmacy (“Where quality is obvi-ous, confidence is the natural re-sult.”); at 251 the Westbury SportShop; at 253 the Westbury &Roslyn Fish Market; at 254 was Ed-ward & Son Jewelry Company (intheater building); at 255 the Mead-owbrook Meat Market; at 259 Cav-allaro Home Appliances; at 261 wasM. Ferraioli (Italian/American gro-ceries, homemade spaghetti sauce);at 265 was M.J. Knipfing & Sons(Ford sales/service); at 272 Abete’sRestaurant; at 278 the WestburyLaunder-It; at 287 was M.W. TearOptometrist; at 289 The Red Box(gifts); at 311 the Westbury PlateGlass Co.; and at 341 was WestburyFederal Savings Bank. At Post andCastle was the Meadow BrookFlower Shop (Robert Renison, pro-prietor); at Post and Liberty was theWheatley Hills Service Station; andat Post and Wilson was John J.Dowling (Chrysler/Plymouthsales/service).

*The stationery store and varietystore were common during the mid-

20th century. Back then, it wascommon for people to keep intouch with pen and paper, mailingeach other handwritten letters. Be-sides, long-distance phone callswere expensive. Stationery storesprovided pens, pencils and paper ofall types, as well as envelopes andother related items. With the adventof the office supply store, comput-ers and cheap copy paper by theream, the need for stationery storesdisappeared. All that remains todayare card stores that sell greetingcards and small gifts.

The variety store was a wondrousplace, filled with an eclectic mix-ture of items. The death knell forvariety stores was when Wool-worth’s went out of business sever-al years ago. The old-fashioned va-riety store has now been replacedtoday with the dollar store. Where-as you could find virtually anythingyou needed in a variety store, thedollar stores of today offer a morelimited menu of items, mainlycheap imports and manufactureroverstock; just try to find buttons orshoelaces in a dollar store.

Country Road, Post Avenue re-mained a real downtown in 1969. At25 Post was Chicken Delight; at 53the Westbury Flower Shop andGreenhouse; at 134 was Andy’s

Silas Carle, For Whom Carle Place Was NamedBy Suzanne McVetty, Genealogist

(This historical piece was originally pub-lished in Anton Community Newspapers in1986.)

Silas Carle came to the Westbury area inthe 1830s and had a large house built forhim and his wife, Mary Elizabeth SeamanCarle. The house, circa 1835, stands on thenorth side of Jericho Turnpike, just oppositeCarle Road in Old Westbury, as Mr. RichardGashot, Village of Old Westbury historian,confirmed.

Silas Carle’s coming here was no acci-dent. Silas was born in Westbury in 1784,the son of John Carle and Phebe Hicks,which was mentioned at the Monthly Meet-ing of the Society of Friends in Westbury.His wife, Mary Elizabeth Seaman was bornin 1786, the daughter of Leonard Seamanand Mary Titus. She was the granddaughterof Peter Titus and Elizabeth Mudge, wholived just down the road on Jericho Turn-pike. Silas’ brother Jacob and sister Maryboth married children of Peter and ElizabethTitus at the Society of Friends in Westbury.

Silas Carle was listed as a druggist in theNew York City directories and owned hisown business on Water Street in LowerManhattan from about 1812. Skip Carl men-tions in his Carl Family History that thiscompany specialized in selling medicinechests for sailing vessels. Silas also suppliedmedicines to individuals as well as doctorsand hospitals, his niece-in-law, Susan, wroteto her family. Later, Silas brought hisnephew John J. Carle into the business and

John became the sole owner in 1847. Thedrug business prospered under Silas’ careand he and Mary Elizabeth were able tomove to Long Island where they purchaseda 220-acre farm in Westbury. The twoparcels were divided by Jericho Turnpikewith the property reaching into the Hemp-stead Plains up to the Long Island RailRoad tracks. Silas advocated the settling ofthe lands along the railroad during a speechhe made at a dinner of the board of directorsof the LIRR, of which he was a member,and it was reported in The Long Islander onApril 21, 1848. He invited all of the boardto stop and see his highly productive andfertile farm at Carle’s Place.

Silas and Mary Elizabeth Carle were ac-tive members of the Society of Friends inNew York City and then in Westbury, whereSilas became an elder. After moving toLong Island, it was in Westbury that theyworshipped and here that Silas is buried. Hedied on Jan. 16, 1861 when he was 64 yearsold. Mary Elizabeth continued to live at theHomestead, though much of the originalfarm was sold through the years by the heirsof Silas. She died at her residence on April26, 1881 at the age of 94. The Homestead,with 22.5 acres, was sold to Charles RusselHone and his wife, Josephine, in 1883.

Though there were no other Carles whoever lived in the house again, this name hasremained. The Hamlet that today encom-passes the southern parcel of the originalproperty that Silas Carle owned officiallytook the name Carle Place in 1915.

Robert Bacon Farley Visits Westbury LibraryBacon is a great-grandson of children’s library founder, Colonel Robert Bacon

Late this summer, the faculty andstaff of the Westbury MemorialPublic Library received a surprise

visit from the great-grandson of ColonelRobert Bacon. It was Robert Bacon Far-ley’s first visit to the library built and ded-icated by his family nearly 90 years ago.

The Robert Bacon Children’s Librarywas a gift to the Westbury community inthe early 1920s in honor of Colonel Ba-con, who served as secretary of state andambassador to France under PresidentTheodore Roosevelt. Following his deathin 1919, his widow Martha decided tobuild a memorial dedicated to children topay tribute to her husband and continuehis desire to be “an inspiration and toawaken big ambition” in young people.

The Robert Bacon Memorial Libraryopened its doors on June 24, 1924 and re-mained privately endowed and operatedas an independent institution until 1965when it incorporated with the WestburyMemorial Public Library through aschool district vote.

Bacon Farley, who resides in NewHampshire with his family, said he wasawestruck upon entering the Robert Ba-con Memorial Library and seeing hisgreat-grandfather’s statue displayed onthe mantle.

“It was beautiful [and] I was honoredto finally make this connection,” said Ba-con Farley of his first visit to the West-bury building. “As the librarians will at-test, I was initially at a loss for words

when I approached the desk as I didn’tknow what to say at first. Finally, aftersome bumbling, I blurted out ‘this libraryis named after my great-grandfather.’”

He added, “Everyone on the staff wasall very excited about my visit. The re-sponse was overwhelming. They are trulyambassadors of the child-loving spiritthat my great-grandfather possessed.”

Bacon Farley said his mother was onlya year old when her grandfather, RobertBacon, died and growing up neither hisgrandmother nor mother ever mentionedthe library or took him there when theywould visit Arlough, his grandmother’shome in Old Westbury.

“As a child growing up in the woodsof New Hampshire, I did not realize nor

was I taught about the Bacon legacy,”Bacon Farley, he said. “Had I knownthen what I know now, I would havespent a great deal more time with mygrandmother learning as much as Icould from her about my grandfatherand great grandfather.”

Bacon Farley, who currently serves asa deputy state fire marshal and bureaucommander with the Bureau of SpecialOperations for the New Hampshire StateFire Marshal’s Office, said he is keenlyinterested in genealogy.

“It is a hobby spurred by the interest Ihave gained from learning about mygrandfather and great-grandfather … Ihope that I may pass along a small pieceof the Bacon legacy to my children,” he

said, adding. “I must confess, however,that even though I kept the tradition ofpublic service, I could not possibly hold acandle to these great men.”

“The staff was honored and delightedto have Mr. Bacon Farley visit the Chil-dren’s Library,” said Westbury LibraryDirector Cathleen Towey, adding thatMr. Bacon Farley was impressed withthe way building has been maintainedand the quality of the staff and the pro-grams. “Mr. Bacon Farley was truly ap-preciative of all we do to keep the Chil-dren’s Library in its original state andour efforts to continue the Bacon lega-cy,” Towey said.

Bacon Farley added that he plans tobring his adult children to the library oneday and is very interested in very makingsure the Robert Bacon Memorial Libraryremains a fixture of the Westbury com-munity for a long time.

“It is heartwarming to think that thepowers-to-be of the town of Westburyhad enough forethought and insight tobuild around this treasure. All too oftenthese days, buildings such as this one aretoo quickly torn down and tossed asidefor some new unappealing replacement,”he said. “I truly hope that this buildingcarries on forever as a tribute to my fami-ly’s honorable history. I am humbled bytheir achievements and legacy.”

Robert Bacon Farley visited the Westbury Children’s Library on Aug. 23 and metwith librarian Stephanie Avalos, Head of Children’s Library Emily Farrell, Director Cathleen Towey, trainee Jessica Centuori and clerk Maria Abelo.

*Pharmacies were a staple in old-time Westbury, with several on PostAvenue, including the historic Bar-ley’s Pharmacy. The old-fashioneddrugstore was legendary for its re-freshments. As the old legend goes,the movie star Lana Turner was dis-covered while sipping soda at adrugstore. Unlike other types ofbusinesses, the pharmacy has notvanished in today’s world; it hasonly evolved. Most independentpharmacies have closed due to therise in chain pharmacies. These newsuper-pharmacies are really part su-permarket, part variety store and

only a small part drugstore. Theysell canned, dry and refrigerated andfrozen food and drinks, as well ascandy. They sell greeting cards, tis-sues, diapers and offer photo devel-oping services. Typically, they oper-ate out of much larger buildings thantheir older counterparts and are ableto offer cheaper prices. But noteveryone prefers them.

Post Avenue in 1982During the 1980s, many of the

old-time Post Avenue businesseswere still around, but things werebeginning to change as old-timersdied or moved away from West-bury.

*Throughout its history, Post Av-enue has been a one-stop shoppingplace for food. Fruit and vegetablemarkets and butcher shops weremore common in the old days. Assupermarkets grew more popularfrom the 1950s and on, consumersno longer relied as much upon thelocal fruit market or butcher. In re-cent days, the fruit and vegetablemarket has made a resurgence, of-fering better prices than supermar-kets on many items.

Recent History of Post Avenue

As times have changed, so hasPost Avenue. Like other Long Is-land villages, the business of down-town Westbury faced new chal-lenges during the last decades ofthe 20th century. Superstores, stripmalls, warehouse stores and depart-ment stores all drew more businessaway from Post Avenue. The con-cept of a village centered aroundPost Avenue changed over time, as

the Salisbury neighborhood to thesouth of the village became morepopulated and Old Country Roadand Carman Avenue were devel-oped.

Another factor in the decline ofPost Avenue as a destination is therising prevalence of the worldwideweb as a way to shop. With lowoverhead and fast service, web-based stores are able to offer lowprices and attract customers whocan purchase with the click of amouse and then await the packagedelivered to their front door withouthaving to set foot outside.

The Westbury Business Improve-ment District was founded in 1993to help keep Post Avenue a vibrantplace and attract new businesses.Inevitably, perhaps, during the late1990s and early 2000s, Post Av-enue lost many old standbys asshop owners retired and timeschanged. Parillo’s shoe store closedin 1997 after 77 years in business.

To the chagrin of many Westbury

residents, Stefan’s Bake Shopclosed in the late 1990s. Soon after,the second location of Stefan’s, in ashopping center on Old CountryRoad in Westbury, also closed.

And it was also a sad day whenthe old variety store Tear and Ger-shon closed in the early years of the21st century. Even in its last days,Tear and Gershon was a throwbackto an earlier era in Westbury, offer-ing a wide variety of items, every-thing from greeting cards andpadded envelopes to cut flowersand ceramic knickknacks to toys tolottery tickets, newspapers, candyand chewing gum. They wereknown as the local source of heli-um-inflated balloons for parties anda drop-off point for advertisementsin the local free weekly paper. Thestore also had a selection of dollaritems. In the spring, a selection ofreasonably priced flowering plantsand vegetable seedlings wouldmake a colorful display in front ofthe store. Café Gino’s opened therein May 2007, bringing new life toan old space.

The landmark Barley’s Pharma-cy and the Midville Pharmacyboth closed in early 1998, withina few weeks of each other. Theseclosings coincided with the open-ing of a Rite Aid drugstore adja-cent to the corner property at Postand Maple. Founded in 1962, RiteAid has more than 4,000 locationsnationwide. The store is the mod-ern idea of a drugstore, featuringa pharmacy, drinks, snacks, can-dy, a photo-developing lab, toys,beauty supplies and cleaningproducts.

Several historic materials fromBarley’s were donated to the His-torical Society of the Westburys.Barley’s briefly became Bailey’s,an antique store that utilized boththe main floor and the basementof the building. The shop sold awide selection of furniture, glass-ware and other antiques brieflyuntil the owners moved their busi-ness elsewhere.

The Westbury Theater showed itslast film in 2001. The demise of thetheater was sad; the building haddecayed, and it had to be shut downfor safety reasons. It was sold in2004 for a price of $1.65 million toa developer.

Other changes continued to comeon Post Avenue. A Subway fastfood restaurant opened and then aDunkin’ Donuts opened in 2005.The flavor of Post Avenue hasshifted many times, depending on

the type of shops that line thestreet. At one time in the late1990s, Post Avenue had two an-tique stores, Cobblestones and Bai-ley’s (located in the old Barleypharmacy building), but by 2005,both shops had closed. The jewelrystores were also gone by 2005.Butchers, bakeries, fruit and veg-etable stores have seen their num-bers reduced. Businesses offeringservices (nail salons, tax prepara-tion offices, real estate agencies,etc.) rather than goods have be-come more prevalent.

Things are looking up for PostAvenue, however. Street fairs andparades continue to attract largecrowds. The construction of a pi-azza in the center of the villagewas finally accomplished in 2006after the village acquired the gasstation property at the corner ofMaple and Post. Inlaid with deco-rative cobblestones and land-scaped with shrubs and trees, thesquare is the cornerstone of thenewly revitalized Westbury. Dedi-cated in April 2007, the villagesquare is a throwback to an earlierera and encourages pedestriantraffic. It is not a suburban parkwith a parking lot adjacent to it; itis an urban piazza, meant as astopping point for those who strollcasually down Post Avenue. Therevitalization of Post Avenue willhopefully bring new prosperity toits merchants.
