November Nor'easter



I went out this morning at 6 to catch some video of the storm, specifically the flooding. The first segment was on the dark side of things, but when I returned about an hour later daylight improved the picture.

I may go out later today when high tide returns at 4:45pm if things look exciting.

Bill Owen.

Our Bridge to Home



Here is the earliest bridge to Lochhaven crossing the Lafayette River. These tracks were for the trolleys that continued to Ocean View. This particular angle is looking south towards Larchmont. This picture was most likely taken in the mid-1920s. The platform to the left was the construction of a parallel bridge for autos.



This photo shows the completed bridge for autos, and judging by the cars, we would estimate this photo was taken in the late-1920s. It may be a little difficult to see, but the loch is to the far left, indicating this view is looking north towards Lochhaven.

Welcome!

This is the Lochhaven Civic League's official site.

You will find updates on events of interest in the neighborhood, minutes from the Civic League meetings, historical photos and other information useful to residents.

The current slate of officers are:

Bill Owen, President
Angie McMahon, Vice-President
Ken Danser, Treasurer
Tom Cherry, Sheriff
Mary Crawford, Representative
