It was conducted as a store by Daniel Cobb from 1850 (?) to 1860. It is not a store on the maps of 1873. The building was demolished in April 1925. A 1-story garage occupies the site. (at present (1937)), 1922 (photograph taken)." Elderts Lane is at this point marks the border between Brooklyn and Queens (Cypress Hill and Woodhaven, respectively).
