Ravenswood, a village in the
Town of Newtown, is located upon the East River. It is a suburban
village and the houses consist mostly of costly residents. The
poorhouse farms of New York City were located at this place previous to
purchase of the islands in the river for that purpose. A rifle
cartridge factory exploded here about 1850, occasioning a great
destruction of life. |
