1925
The Board of Aldermen renames Ridgewood's streets, and Foxall Street becomes 69th Avenue
In 1925 the Board of Aldermen renamed most of Ridgewood's streets under a numbering plan that Queens Borough President Maurice E. Connolly had ordered in 1911 to end duplicate street names across the borough. The street this house faces, first called Foxall Street, became 69th Avenue. Nearby Elm Avenue turned into Catalpa Avenue and Halleck and Edsall Avenues became 70th Avenue.
