Nathan Weidenbaum (1908-1983) was a longtime Woodside resident and one of the first occupants of the Wynwoode Gardens Homes, where he moved in 1936. At the time, the area was lacking basic amenities such as street signs and lampposts, so Weidenbaum formed the Wynwoode Gardens Homeowners Association to bring civic improvements to the area. He served as president of the association for over 45 years. He ran a busy law practice while also publishing a monthly newsletter on civic issues and services for homeowners and succeeded in getting local bus service to the area. Weidenbaum retired in 1981 and died in March 1983.
