The Kew Gardens Country Club

The tennis courts were in the back of the Club. They extended across the south side of Austin Street past the site of the present day Kew Gardens Post Office. In 1912, New York City's West Side Tennis Club considered moving to a site in Kew Gardens owned by the Man Family. However the asking price was considered too high and the property thought too inaccessible to Manhattan. Forest Hills got the nod instead.
