On Facebook, the Nassau County Police posted a photo of the original main entrance to the department's headquarters on 15th Street in Mineola. In the post the department announced an American Flag was recently installed at the entrance just like the one seen in the historic photo.
“When the building was originally built in 1934 that was the main entrance,” NCPD museum curator Officer Zacchia told LongIsland.com.
The photo, which Officer Zacchia estimated was taken in the 1950s, shows the original steps and two lamp posts topped with globe lights. In restoring the 15th street entranceway, Officer Zacchia got new globe lamps installed to mimic the original historic look. He said that one of the original lamp posts seen in the historic photo still survives.
