At 12 midnight, Saturday, January 30—Start of fire.
A spectacular blaze destroyed an
old landmark in Lynbrook, formerly
a hotel built in 1870 by FrankSchlos-ser.
The fancy structure on Merrick
Road and Hempstead Avenue was de-signed
by John Frimand, a Danish
architect who resided in Lynbrook,
The hotel was a stop for the stage
coach from Jamaica to Freeport. In
later years it was a transfer point
for the famous trolley from Jamaica
to points east.
In recent years it was altered
to house stores and business offices.
The fire started about 11:30 PM on
Saturday, January 30, and raged for
more than 15 hours. More than 500
firemen from East Rockaway, Mal-verne,
Rockville Center, Hewlett,
Valley Stream, Lake view and Lyn-brook
fought the fire in 20 man
relays throughout Saturday and Sun-day,
in high winds and low temper- An early picture of the Schlosser Hotel,
