Albert's Inn

Located on the northeast corner of Hicksville Road and Hempstead Turnpike on a 5 1/2 acre site.

The owners were from Jericho and came to Bethpage in the early l900s.

The house was three stories resembling a castle with a tower. The Inn had a stately portico, parquet floors, elegant staircase, fireplaces and each window was topped with stain glass which reflects a time of gracious living.

The restaurant was located on the first floor and opened out to beautiful grounds with its many species of trees. The guests of the Inn could enjoy dining "al fresco" when the weather permitted.

The Inn was owned by Sophie Hencken's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pirowski. Sophie lived in the Inn as a child. Mrs. Hencken was the guest speaker at the CPHS meeting and this information was recorded in the minutes.
