Alden Place used to be called "Hogan's Alley" after a news- paper comic strip, begun in 1895, about immigrant children using odd slang.

By 1925, most of the houses on Alden Place were owned or rented by first-generation Italians, many of whom had immigrated to Millbrook from the region around Fondi, 75 miles southwest of Rome, to work as masons, construction workers, or gardeners on the large estates.

La loro Italian Naturalization Club, mostrata in entrambe le foto, era alla fine della strada. Gli italiani formarono numerose società di mutuo soccorso per aiutarsi nella loro nuova terra.
