large tracts of land between the North
Shore railroad tracks in Long Island
City and Woodside. The company has
a two-fold object in view. One is to
acquire land needed near the outlet of
the new Blackwell's Island Bridge, and
the other is to obtain land needed near
the outlet of the tunnel under the East
river. BY the recent purchase of the
old Bragaw estate, it is said, the last
link has been added to a strip Of land
several blocks wide, which extends
from the North Shore railroad tracks
in Long Island City clear out to Wood
side, about two miles away.
Bourgon Broucard and his wife,
Catharine lie Febre, French Huguenots
from Mannheim on the Rhine, landed on
Manhattan island in 1876 and bought
an estate in Sunnyside and Dutch Kills
in old Nassau. There they established
the family whose members are now
variously called Bragau, Bragaw and
Brokaw, as the old family name has

and shipped to Sunnyside on boats.
Instead of nails stout wooden pins
were used.
The site of the house is bounded by
Rawson street, the North Shore rail-
road tracks, Middleburg avenue and
Skillman avenue. It's purchase will
enable the road to be Strengthened.
Near the homestead is the old
Bragaw schoolhouse. On this site
Richard Bragaw erected a public
school and gave the site to the old
town of Newton, and it was probably
the first public school in Queens
county. Since that time the structure
has been rebuilt severals times.
In addition to the Bragaw homestead
the old Jones house, built on the es-
tate by one of the relatives of the
family, is included in the purchase and

been corrupted by later generations.
The ruins of the original homestead
are yet to be seen on what was known
as the old Ridge road in Sunnyside.
The present homestead was built by
Richard Bragaw. When it was sold to
the railroad company it's owners were
Harry Bragau, barytone singer, and
Miss Ella R. Bragaw, who has taught
school in Long Island City for genera
tions.
While generally in a good state of
preservation many rooms of the old
house were given over to the winds
and the memories of the past From
the great open hall on the first floor a
balustrade of solid mahogany leads up
to the different flights of stairs to

angular strip bounded by Skillman
avenue, Jackson avenue and the North
Shore tracks.
While of recent years the old place
is known as the Payntar homestead
the house was built by one of the
Broueards in the early part of 1900.
From the Broucards it passed into the
hands of the Ryerson family and next
into the possession of the Larremores.
A century ago it was bought by Will
liam Payntar and 1t is now occupied
by George H. Payntar of Long Island
City. Mr.. Payntar was born in this
old homestead and he hopes to spend
the rest of his life there. For this
reason he is not anxious to sell.
