As documented on VanderbiltCupRaces.com, Going west to east, the second Motor Parkway toll collection structure was the Rocky Hill Road Lodge located 600-feet east of present-day Springfield Boulevard in Queens.

Officially opened on July 1, 1928, the "toll lodge" clearly was only a toll booth across both lanes of the Motor Parkway. In this photo, gatekeeper Sidney A. Jones was standing on the right side of the booth. Jones manned this location until the parkway closed in 1938.

Enjoy,

Howard Kroplick
