L’avantage de travailler dans le quartier de St. James’s à Londres est que j’ai régulièrement l’occasion de voir beaucoup de belles vieilles voitures britanniques dans les rues. - source Paul Hier.

The house on Park Place
On Park Place in Hyde Park sits an old Greek Revival building which was built in 1848 by the Livingston Family. It became the home of D.H. Mulford as shown on the historic maps of the area. Mulford served as the town supervisor in the 1850s.
The house was purchased by Archibald Rogers and Elbridge T. Gerry (grandson of the Vice President and signer of the Declaration of Independence) in 1895 to serve as a Rectory for St. James church. The original rectory had been built in 1835 just north of the church on Albany Post Road (as it is again today) but was no longer suitable and torn down in 1893. What was still known as the Livingston house and property and was sold by the church in 1957. Not long after, it was turned into apartments.
Perhaps the most famous resident of these apartments was Eleanor Roosevelt’s long time friend and confidant, Lorena Hickok. She moved into a downstairs apartment in the late 1950′s and was quite pleased by the large green lawn that went down towards to river (now the site of newer apartments). Hickok was said to have been well liked by all of the young boys in the neighborhood who brought her much needed comfort after Eleanor Roosevelt passed away in 1962. She would stand in the front yard in a man’s shirt, baggy pants, and a cigarette hanging from her lips handing out cookies to the boys who walked by.
Hick (as her friends called her) had been a successful journalist in her younger years but struggled to find her footing after falling in love with Mrs. Roosevelt in the 1930′s. She had a couple of successful works of literature including some pieces on Mrs. Roosevelt and Helen Keller but she had a hard time supporting herself in later years and Mrs. Roosevelt came to her assistance on several occasions. Hick lived in this house until her death in 1968.
Hick had requested to have the same Rector who officiated Eleanor Roosevelt’s funeral, The Rev. Gordon Kidd, say a little prayer at her cremation. Kidd not only said a prayer but gave her the full Episcopal service. Strangely, Kidd had lived in the building where Hick’s apartment was when it was the rectory in 1946.
