Henry Johanson's office was located at 2 Main Street in Roslyn, New York. He is best known for his work throughout the New York metropolitan area – specifically in Queens and suburban Long Island, including places such as Flower Hill, Roslyn, Roslyn Estates, and Garden City in Nassau County – and in Jamaica Estates in Queens. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In 1937, Johanson designed Roslyn's original Rescue Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 Firehouse, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [6] He also designed the Lincoln Building in Roslyn, which is a contributing property in the Main Street Historic District – along with several Roslyn homes on Sinclair Martin Drive (which are part of a municipal historic district). [6] [7] [8] [9] In 1948, Johanson designed Flower Hill Village Hall – the government offices for the Village of Flower Hill, New York; he had previously designed several private residences within the village – including many in Walter Uhl's Flower Hill Estates development. [1] [10] [11] [12]
In 1947, Johanson designed 330 homes for a new, large-scale housing development in Garden City, New York. [5] In 1950, he designed 23 homes for a new development in Lido Beach, New York, and in 1951, he would design several homes in a new development in Roslyn Estates, New York. [13] A few years later, in 1954, he designed 100 additional homes in a large-scale development in Williston Park, New York, known as North Shore Estates – and in 1955 he designed 23 homes for the Fairway Estates development in Roslyn Harbor, New York, adjacent to the Engineers Country Club. [14] [15] [16] Many of the homes designed by Johanson were noted for their designs. [5] [12] [14] [15] [16]
Johanson also served as the Building Inspector of the Village of Flower Hill. [17] [18] [19]
Henry Johanson died in January 1975. [20] A park in Flower Hill is named Henry W. Johanson Green, in honor of Johanson. [18]
