The Maurice family home, situated at Rust Street and 57th Road, remains standing today, though it no longer features its original ornamental pond. Its former address was 1 Hill Street. In front of the house, there is a charming old bluestone sidewalk. James Maurice’s brother and two surviving sisters resided there, and after the last sibling, Sarah Maurice, passed away in 1909, distant relatives sold the house.

James Maurice was a notable figure during the Progressive Era, which spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s. He supported measures such as the direct election of senators, which was eventually realized with the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

In addition to political reforms, Maurice was also involved in social reforms aimed at improving the living and working conditions of the urban poor. This included advocating for labor rights, better housing, and public health initiatives. James Maurice was once the most prominent citizen of Queens County.
