    11/3/22 Queens All Hands Box 4512

    Back in the mid 60's there was a 75-4512 down on the next corner. (23 Ave. & 122 Street) It was a 2 story former residence then used as an office for Muschler Plumbing Co. 296 had been gone several years then and I do remember 297 and 272 almost being nose to nose on 122 street.
