Groundbreaking For ‘Yellow Cottage’

Historic building donated to city for new youth foundation

After years of planning, a groundbreaking was held last week to celebrate the preservation of one of Glen Cove’s historic buildings, known as the “Yellow Cottage,” a final holdover on Cottage Row from days past. The cottage is being donated by the Canarick family in memory of Morris and Rae Canarick. The building is being moved onto city property, where it will house the Sidney Canarick Foundation, a nonprofit with a mission to benefit the youth of Glen Cove through sports.

Founder and CEO/treasurer of the Sidney Canarick Foundation, Paul Canarick, was joined at the groundbreaking by the foundation’s trustees: City Councilman Michael Famiglietti, president; Judge Richard McCord, vice president; and County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, secretary.

Members of the Canarick family, the Glen Cove City Council and the board of the new foundation celebrated the start of the project in front of the city’s historic “Yellow Cottage.” Also joining the event were Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi, City Council members Nick DiLeo, Anthony Jimenez and former Councilman Sean Dwyer.

The Canarick family members present were: Susan Canarick, Jack Canarick, Paul Canarick, Debbie McAlla, Ross McAlla, David McAlla, Tim Wasp, Natalie Meyer, Richard Meyer, Alex Meyer and Amanda Giambrone.

The Canarick family has owned the Yellow Cottage for almost a century. Paul Canarick is also donating the expense of moving the historic building from its current location to its destination on a city parcel around the corner.

Paul arranged for this donation and the new foundation as a way to honor his father, Sidney, who was an active member of the Glen Cove community, particularly a major proponent of youth sports programs.

“My dad was a big athlete. He played football in Glen Cove, and went on to play for Bucknell. He was the winning quarterback of the first Orange Bowl,” shared Paul. “After the service, he became very involved with recreation in Glen Cove. He started many of our programs. So this is something to carry on what he did. We’ll be supporting sports for Glen Cove’s kids.”
