How Well Do You Know the Area? Do you know where this week's picture was taken? If you do, call the Enterprise-Pilot at 747-8282 and let us know. If you have a picture that you think might be interesting for others to guess, drop it off in our box at Pleasant Valley Gallery & Gifts, 101 South Street, Oyster Bay.

John Hults called to identify the mystery photograph in the April 15 issue of the Oyster Bay Enterprise Pilot. He said, "That is Beekman Beach parking lot, where I park my car." He is a member of the Oyster Bay Rowing Team that trains out of the Sagamore Rowing Association.

The location in the picture is actually a "what was there photograph" and what was there was the Quonset hut used by the SRA. It is gone.

Billy Minicozzi called the picture, correctly, "a big parking lot behind Roosevelt Park near the rail road and going toward the train station." On a Sports Note, he said, "Phil Mickelson won the Masters Golf Tournament. He said St. John's has a new basketball coach, Norm Roberts. The team has been having a hard time for the last few years. I hope he can bring back the basketball team."

L.I. Ashby sent an e-mail saying: "Ever since I confused East Main and Anstice with West Main Street, I have let three correct answers go by without responding. Well I'm throwing myself back in the mix (on the April 8 picture). It may be shaky, but I think the picture is the brick building on the waterfall side of the Mill Pond. In the past it was a power station."

That's a perfect score!

Bernice Cardinale called to add some information to her answer last week. She said the little brick house on the Mill Pond Creek was called the Oyster Bay Power Company. Her husband Jimmie used to ice skate on Mill Pond. Near the brick building was another building where his mother and the adults in town went to hear music and dance. She said Mr. Ebbets, confirmed that. And that the building's been torn down.

While her husband Jimmie ice skated on Mill Pond, she said she lived in Locust Valley on the Buckram Road side and used to skate at Beaver Dam.

Robert Kennedy sent an e-mail saying, "It looks like the pump house between the Mill Pond and the rowing school." He wondered what the plans were to fix the little brick house up.
