The Maple Grove Hotel stood on the north side of today's Metropolitan Avenue (the street on the left) at the intersection of Kew Gardens Road (the street on the right) and Jamaica Avenue (offscreen to the left). Opened by Jacob Hauswirth c. 1891, it offered food and lodging to out of town visitors to Maple Grove Cemetery who had only to travel right down Kew Gardens Road from the Cemetery or the Maple Grove railroad station.
