A history of Bayside in pictures
Melissa Chambers Bell (right) and her children are seen in front of the house that was originally built by her grandfather-in-law Abraham Bell I. The home was situation on the northwest corner of Bell and Warburton Avenues.
Abraham Bell II built this home in 1870 as a wedding present for his bride to be, Melissa Chambers. The home was located across the street from Abraham Bell I on the southwest corner of Bell and Warburton Avenues.
Known as the “Cypress Lumber King,” William L. Burton purchased 54 acres from H.W. Leavitt in 1906 and built this 15-room mansion at an estimated cost of $200,000. The property is now the current site of the Baybridge Condominium development.
Pictured here is Bayside and its connection with Little Neck Bay before and after the construction of the Cross Island Parkway. Initiated by the city’s Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, work to build the parkway began in 1934 with sand that was dredged out of the Ambrose Channel, towed up the East River, and pumped onto the shoreline from Willets Point to just past Northern Boulevard. The parkway was officially dedicated in 1940 and included a bridge extending over the highway at 28th Avenue to a pier and launching facility that replaced one built by the Bayside Yacht Club.

The justice story: army capt. peter hains jr. kills publisher william annis in broad daylight at bayside yacht club.
At least 100 men, women and children, dressed for a regatta, were milling around the grounds of the Bayside Yacht Club on Little Neck Bay in Queens.
They watched a sloop with white sails approach the dock, and a man in a bathing suit prepared to disembark.
As he sat in the bow of the boat, two men — U.S. Army Capt. Peter C. Hains Jr., and his brother, Thornton Jenkins Hains — strode toward him.
“Annis! Annis!” Captain Hains yelled. Then he slipped a revolver from his pocket, aimed and pulled the trigger six times.
His target, magazine publisher William E. Annis, fell backward into the water, two bullets in his abdomen, one in his arm and two in his legs.
A sailor pulled the wounded man from the water, while people on shore, their afternoon revels turned to horror, stormed toward the boat, screaming, “Grab him.”
At the front of the crowd was Annis’ distraught wife, trying to reach her husband. But she found her path blocked by Thornton Hains, a pistol in his hand. “You move and you’ll get the same,” he told her.
Then to the group of men rushing to help Annis, he said, “This man is my brother and you can’t hurt him.”
With Thornton keeping the crowd at bay with his gun, the Hains brothers waited calmly for the police to arrest them.
Annis was rushed to a nearby hospital, but there was nothing to be done. “There was absolutely no reason for this shooting,” he told doctors with his dying breath.
But in Captain Hains’ view, there was ample reason, and it all had to do with his beautiful wife — Claudia Libbey Hains — and rumors of wild times, much of it spent with Annis, while her husband was off on Army business in Manila.
This assault on the captain’s heart and home drove him mad, or so his lawyers would insist. In his defense, they would invoke the “unwritten law,” the belief that defending family and honor could spark an impulsive insanity that could justify shooting an unarmed man.
“Dementia Americana” was the term coined for this breed of murderous rage.
Captain Hains first got inklings of his wife’s seamy hijinks in 1907, when he was half a world away in Manila. The gossip came in letters from his brother, Thornton, author of adventure novels and magazine short stories in New York. Claudia, Thornton told his brother, was leaving her children unattended and hungry while she kicked up her heels.
Such behavior was not befitting any wife, but certainly not one of her social standing. The Hains brothers came from illustrious military stock. Their father was Gen. Peter Conover Hains, a veteran of both the Civil and Spanish-American wars, and their maternal grandfather was Adm. Thornton A. Jenkins, a Civil War hero.
Captain Hains first laid eyes on Claudia Libbey in 1900, when she was a lovely 16-year-old. Married soon after, she bore three children and followed her husband from one military post to another. But in 1907, when the captain was sent to Manila, he decided to leave the wife and children in New York. That, to hear Thornton tell it, was when the trouble began: Drinking, smoking, orgies, and an affair with the married publisher Annis.
C LAUDIA’S own letters to her husband bore out Thornton’s stories. She wrote about having some “bully” times, and playful flirtations with men. “Good night, dear,” she wrote in March 1908. “See what you are missing by not being with your sporty wife?”
Hains hurried home to confront her and forced her to sign a confession, admitting to her infidelity and naming Annis. The captain filed for divorce and set off to redeem his honor.
After the shooting, a different version came from Claudia’s lips. She insisted she and Annis had been just friends and her confession had been coerced with liquor. She called her husband a pervert, said he beat her, and blamed him for introducing her to “the seductive charms of various cocktails and the soothing effects of a ladylike cigaret.”
As for Thornton’s role in all of this, Claudia said that he had tried to seduce her and, when she spurned him, he sought revenge.
The brothers faced juries in separate trials — Thornton in December 1908, and the captain in the spring of 1909. Thornton, his attorneys argued, had caught his brother’s mania, and was not responsible for his actions. The jury agreed, and acquitted him.
Attorneys for the captain argued that he had acted under the influence of dementia, brought on by the betrayal of his wife and friend. It was a sensational trial, chock full of the kinds of details that made the yellow presses sing, such as Claudia’s drunken somersaults into the arms of her married lover and reports of boasts by Annis about his conquest.
The jury found the captain guilty of manslaughter, with a sentence of eight to 16 years in Sing Sing. His father lobbied hard for a pardon, and eventually 10 of the 12 jurors petitioned the governor for mercy, insisting that Annis had provoked Hains with actions “debasing his sense of honor.” In 1911, a little less than 2
1/2 years into his sentence, Hains was free. And in August of the same year, Captain Hains was finally granted an uncontested divorce.

My friend is a member here he says it's quite reasonable and it is a very personable and family-type atmosphere. It's actually a great location to keep your boat in the summertime and they also do winter storage so that's awesome. From what he's told me he plans on staying here for a while. He was at the small Marina on the corner but I guess everything went downhill over there and it's up for sale. Sounds like Bayside Yacht Club is a great place if you're a boater. Don't get me wrong it's not the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club no pools no parks no games just boats.

Hold the past for the future , vintage postcards of bayside, new york, back to main index, clearview golf course.
Originally called the Clearview Golf and Yacht Club, the 103-acre course was founded in 1925 and catered to an exclusive clientele including New York State Governor Alfred E. Smith (1873-1944). Like the North Hills Country Club (now the Douglaston Golf Course) the Clearview Golf Course was designd by landscape architect Willie Tucker in 1925.
In 1931 the City of New York bought the property from the Clearview Golf and Yacht Club for $940,000 and placed the course under the Parks Department management. Between 1935 and 1940, the entire course was redesigned and new club facilities were built. The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority acquired lands on the eastern side of the property in 1957 for the construction of the Clearview Expressway. That same year, the installation of a new course drainage system began.
Since 1983, American Golf Corporation manages the course as a public amenity under a concession agreement with the New York City's Department of Parks and Recreation.
According to the Parks Department: "Clearview Park and Golf Course is a public 18-hole course located about 15 miles from midtown Manhattan. The somewhat hilly course contains both straight, open fairways as well as others lined with trees and forest. It is designed for beginner to intermediate level players, and par ranges from 3 to 5 strokes. The course’s signature hole is #17, which is a 395-yard, par 4 hole offering spectacular views of the Long Island Sound and Throgs Neck Bridge. The course’s longest hole is #2 at 473 yards. The facility includes such amenities as a pro shop, lessons, clinics, a clubhouse, lockers, a snack bar, a lounge/bar, and a snack cart roaming the course."
