This is a picture of the Charles Bailey house on the northwest corner of Brewerton Road and Bailey Road. The white sign in front of the house (on the right) shows that it was being run as a Tourist Home at the time the picture was taken. In June 1960 one of the first Carrol's Drive-Ins in Syracuse was opened on this location. Picture taken by Keith Choiniere from a photo at the Salina Free Library. |

Property History In 1855 E. B. Hinsdell sold Leman B. Pitcher 204.5 acres in the northeast corner of Lot 3. On January 8, 1864 Pitcher sold 18 acres of that land to Charles Bailey. It was bordering the west side of the Plank Road and straddled what would become Bailey Road in about equal parts. After Charles Bailey's death in 1898 the land was purchased by Benedict Morey and his son. Morey farmed the land for a while and finally sold the area around the main house for residential development and developed Morey's Park and DreamWyld on the land south of Bailey Road. Today, Route 11, heading for the entrance to Interstate 81, at the southern edge of Northern Lights Traffic Circle, passes right over the area.
