On Merrick Rd., East of Elks Clubhouse
Dr. John N. Shell and Dr. Bernard D. Weinberg
Behind Venture—Hope to Start Work in August
Freeport is to hnve i\ professional, building that will be
modeerrn'in every detail. It is to be located just east of the
Elks clubhouse on West Merrick rd., on the site acquired for
the erection of a hotel -which pro-ject
never was carried out.. It is to
be known as the Medical Arts
Building. '
Dr. John N. Shell, 2-19 West
Merrick rd., and Dr. Bernard D.
Weinberg, 235 West- Merrick rd;..
are1 partners in the venture. They
hope to break ground early in Aug-ust
with a .view to having the build-ing
ready for occupancy by the
spring of 1949.
Though detailed plans have not
been completed, the building is to
be of brick, three stories in height
with a basement and office space
for from 20 to 25 physicians and
dentists, to whom offices in the
structure will be limited. There
will be a pharmacy on the first
floor. A laboratory, use of which
will be available to all desiring to
take advantage of its facilities, will
be another feature. There will be
a passenger elevator.
The plot on which the building
is to be erected has a frontage of-
100 feet on Merrick rd. with a
depth of 324 feet and a driveway
from South ave., allowing for en-trances
from both streets and
ample space in which patients and
others using the facilities of the
building, will have room to park
their cars.
Both l>r. Shell and Dr. Weinberg
have had the idea of such a build-ing
for a, long time and finally de-cided
to go ahead with the project.
Dr. Shell, who is one of the best
known surgeons In Nassau County,
has been practicing in Freeport for
about 15 years. He Is head of the
surgical departments in the South
