The Bessie B. Riordan Apartments on E. Molloy Road were formerly known as the Bessie B. Riordan Elementary School. Before 1963 this was Mattydale School. Until the 1920s, the lot just west of this building was occupied by a wooden one-room school house (No. 3). The original structure was built in 1853. It burned down on January 24, 1902 and a similar one-room school house was rebuilt on the same site.
