After a day of touring the very special homes in St. James, Head of the Har- bor and Nissequogue, guests were delighted to visit the Nissequogue Golf Club where they en- joyed a lavish brunch. An added special treat was homeowners enough for opening their homes in an exhibit of eight artist’s support of the efforts of Celebrate St. James.

LIVES, LOVES, AND LAMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ST.

James always had a number of large estates within its boundaries. that is still true today, especially when you remember that the incorporated villages of head of the harbor and nissequogue are within the postal district of st.James. the first of these large estates were located along north Country road, and for that reason, I have chosen to write about Deepwells, a smith family home that was built in 1845. this article first appeared in the Deepwells, the georgian mansion built by george Curtis in 1845 for Joel long Island historical Journal, L.g.

Deepwells: A Crown Jewel in St. James continued from page 30 Sherrewogue and it was here that Joel was born and spent his childhood. As a young man he studied medicine in New York City while living with an uncle. After his uncle’s death, Smith returned to Smithtown to manage his 600 acre estate which included fruit and other farm products. This must have been sometime after 1840 when Joel’s father Nathaniel died and left him a sizeable inheritance. It was then that Joel began to court Anna Willis Lawrence. (Final En- vironmental Impact Statement for Deepwells, op. cit., p. 101.) The Lawrences lived on the the Mills Pond House, located on the southwest corner of north Country west bank of the Nissequogue road and Mills Pond road in St. James.

The coop is housed in an enclosed courtyard area that has floor to ceiling glass walls, so the chickens can be observed at all times. The outdoor learning space will be used for the study and care of the chickens. Stu- dents in kindergarten through 5th grade will participate in observing, learning about and caring for the chickens. They will also collect eggs daily, which parents can pick up and bring home. “We hope this outdoor learning experience will help serve as a concrete example of the life cycle, a closer connection to our food (eggs) and the important role students will have in caring for animals,” said St. James Elementary Principal MaryGrace Lynch.
