John Aspinwall小罗斯福奶奶家族
||
John Aspinwall in 1762. Aspinwall was a retired sea captain and a founder of St. George Church, located a few blocks away.
During the American Revolution, the house was used as a headquarters for British officers. The house is also said to have been a station on the Underground Railroad before the Civil War. Fugitive slaves waiting for passage to New England or Canada were reportedly hidden in a tunnel that connected to the Aspinwall House with nearby Bowne House.
The house was demolished in the 1950s, when many of Flushing's great estates were subdivided or razed to make way for new buildings.
