House by Goethals Bridge

Does anyone know the story about the house that is near the Goethals Bridge toll plaza? It's been there for years, the lawn is always mowed, but it looks empty.
Just curious

College of Staten Island

A friend of mine from SI is asked me to look for photos of the old student lounge at the College of Staten Island - since she didn't have any luck finding any online.

Senior Sweaters

Are there any pictures of St.Peter's Boys H.S. senior sweaters in the 80s/90s....like the white ones before the current navy ones they have?

Eagle Hall

Does anybody have any information or photos of Eagle Hall, which was located in Stapleton, on which I believe is Wright St? This was former home of Staten Island Council 1662, Knights of Columbus.
