Corner of Hill and East Street. There used to be a Barber Shop there, regular boys haircut, 5 cents!

It looks like some terrible flooding took place in Melville – does anyone remember details?

This is Bill Thomas’ Blacksmith Shop. It was at what is now Rt. 110 and Old Country Rd but was torn down when Rt. 110 was put in.

The Melville Volunteer Fire Company’s first firetrucks. A 1925 and a 1926 American-LaFrance pumpers purchased used from the Huntington Fire Department for $101 each. They are pictured at what was once the annual fire department fair.
I’d love to know what ever happened to them!

The fire department still had its annual fair when I was growing up in the ’50s and ’60s.

Due to a tragic accident, it was the first ambulance purchased by The Melville Volunteer Fire Company.
