19th century frame house Traditional Cache

Cache has a log only so you will need to bring a pen.

If you would like to see on of the last intact 19th century frame houses in Queens you will have to go around the block.

This is a residental block and not suitable for a cache.

According to NYC’s Landmark Preservation Commission, “This small two-story house (c. 1871) is one of the last intact 19th century frame houses in Queens. Designed in a vernacular Italianate style, the house is notable for its decorative porch, gable and fence.” The house is on 47th Avenue between 102nd and 104th Streets and was home to poet, essayist and political writer, Edward E. Sanford (1805-1876). He was the son of U.S. Senator Nathan Sanford (1777 – 1838), who owned most of the land in the Waldheim section of Flushing. Sanford Avenue in Flushing is named after the family.
