Leona Street

2 Leona Street

Leona Street runs from the south end of William Street at Olive Street south and then east to Dorsey Terrace.  Leona Street does not appear on the 1917 Health Survey map.  It first appears in a news story in the local archived newspapers in 1924.  It used to go over to Petrova, but was interrupted by the building of the LaPan Highway.

In this aerial view of Saranac Lake, Leona Lane is seen at lower left running down to the back of the

Villa Dorsey| marked by the red arrow.  |The photograph is undated but is before 1926 because the old Harrietstown Town Hall| is visible at lower right.  The old footbridge| across the Saranac River shows where the Lapan Highway would be built in 1958, at which time the Villa Dorsey and all of the other buildings in its path would be demolished, and Leona Street truncated.  The large cure cottage on the left edge of this photograph is extant.]]Adirondack Daily Enterprise, July 29, 1952

The condition of Leona street, on which Charles Cog an lives, was brought to the attention of the Board by Mr. Cogan.

“Work was started there in July, 1950, and still isn't finished. They drilled, blasted, broke windows and that's about as far as it went. “

“Thirty-five families and 16 cars occupy that section of Leona street,” he pointed out,” and still nothing is done. We fill up the holes with ashes the best we can but many times in the Spring and Fall we have to leave our cars elsewhere and walk to our homes.

Trustee Glogan suggested that “we should at least tell Charlie we will do something for him as soon as possible.”
