Merrick Road, 1968

 In 1968, a committee published a commemorative volume," Seaford, Long Island, N. Y., 1643-1968, 325th Anniversary." At the Seaford Public Library, this book is shelved at 974.7247 S. I searched for addresses on Merrick Road and assembled the table below. This is meant to accompany the previous post, Merrick Road, 2021. As posts are in reverse chronological order, the previous post is below this one.

Some confusion arises west of Jackson Avenue, where the Long Island Savings Bank assembled a lot that included Powell's Hotel and a house with stores to the west. The banks, now Sterling, use the lowest address number.
