Architect Ted Hinz, center, was honored by the Bayside Historical Society and the state on Saturday as Mr. Bayside during Bayside Day at Fort Totten.
BHS President Paul DiBenedetto, left, said his group paid tribute to Hinz, who was one of the founders of the historical group 50 years ago, was instrumental in restoring the BHS headquarters and creating PS 41.
With them is state Sen. Tony Avella, who presented Hinz with a state proclamation.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Bayside Day, the BHS also held an antique car parade, contests and provided food. The group’s next event is a 5K run on Oct. 25. Go to Baysidehistorical.org for details.
