Description: Jane Duffy came to Sunnyside when she got married, a ground floor apartment on 45th street. Jane bought a two family house in Woodside after having two kids and pregnant with the third. She lived in one and rented the other, living rent free for forty years. At that time Woodside was mainly Irish, Italians and Germans. Saint Sebastian School was a big draw back in those days to move to Woodside. It was nearby so Jane didn’t have to drive since she didn’t have an American license.
