How often do you see a house that occupies its own roundabout? Well, I don’t see them too often, and there’s apparently such a house in Queens (NYC) that does just that. The house is located at 13th Avenue and 123rd Street in Collee Point.
The house used to be owned by a man by the name of Herman Schleicher and eventually ended up being converted into a hotel known today as the Grand View Hotel, for its spectacular views of the East Bay and Flushing River. Apparently, there are some issues with the landlord of that lot.
Anyway, all issues aside, wouldn’t it be great to live on an “island” like that? I think it would be.
I am one of the tenant’s that lives there,although i have not been allowed to live there since”July.2,2008 due to the neglect of a Slumlord Landlord…Now That HPD is taking control of this terrible situation….I& The six other families who have been displaced,soon will be able to go back home…Although half a year was ruined for us,we might be able to sing”Merry Christmas”especially the children who have been put thru so much…ages 11,6&3…Pray for us!!We want to go back home!!
