LONG ISLAND

N Long Island, within an area of 1682 square miles (larger than O Rhode Island, and almost as large as Delaware), live four millions of people--nearly one-third the total population of the State of New York and fifty per cent of the population of New York City. Here on this Island is 30 per cent of the assessed real estate valuation of the Empire State. Here are busy factories, thriving towns, pleasant villages and fertile farms. And here is one of the great commercial centers and seaports of the world-the Borough of Brooklyn, with its 2,240,000 people-famed for industry and world shipping, for homes and churches, for educational and recreational facilities. To the east of Brooklyn is the fast-growing Borough of Queens, in whose pleasant towns and villages 1,000,000 people now find homes, still within the limits of the great City of New York. Here, directly across the East River from , a great center of manufacturing and commerce is building. Eastward from Queens is the suburban County of Nassau, with a population of 207,640, and abounding in thriving towns and beautiful home sites. And extending from Nassau to the far eastern end of the I island are the rolling fields of the County of Suffolk, with its 143,2.08 people. Towering high over the East River are the gigantic Brooklyn, Man­ hattan, Williamsburg, Queensboro and Hell Gate bridges, and beneath the river's bed lie seven great subway and railroad tunnels-throbbing arteries of travel between the great city and the beautiful island at its doorstep. The Long Island Railroad, with its 420 miles of lines covering the whole island, runs 1100 trains daily and carries one hundred million passengers annually-the heaviest commutation business handled by any railroad in the world. More than 1200 miles of asphalt, concrete and macadam Highways lead by different routes from one end of the island to the other. Ten million dollars are now being expended to enlarge and improve these Sunrise Trails. Long Island is remarkable, too, because of its unparalleled location. With its western end just at the front door of the world's greatest city and its most easterly point extending 120 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean, it comprises the only ocean frontage possessed by the State of New York. This 120-mile southeast exposure to the Gulf Stream breezes gives Long Island a climate unequalled on the American continent. The great bodies of salt water surrounding it temper the winter's cold and the summer's heat, so that there are no extremes. Points in Texas, California and Florida alone have a similar even range of temperature. Long Island's hours of sunshine are far above the average, only two 8 LONG ISLAND-''The Sunrise Homeland''

places on ·the American continent having an equal or greater number of hours of sunshine. Another delight£ ul feature of Long Island is the beauty and variety of ·its landscapes and marine views. Wooded heights looking down on the blue waters of the Sound, sheltered bays and inlets affording safe harbor, sandy beaches washed by rolling surf, lakes of crystal-clear fresh water, sunny fields and shady forests-all these lend a variety that is entrancing. In the counties of Nassau and Suffolk are 7722 acres of State Park lands. Forest Park, in the Borough of Queens, is of surpassing beauty. Brooklyn's Prospect Park has long been famous the country over. Of all these remarkable features man is taking fullest advantage. Here are homes of every variety, from the ultra-urban apartments of Brooklyn to the quaint farmhouses of Colonial days, and from cozy vine-covered bungalows to the great estates of the wealthy. Fifty-seven High Schools on Long Island epitomize the development of public school facilities. A great Long Island University is in the making, around a nucleus of famous professional and technical colleges in Brooklyn, and many private schools are available. On Long Island are famous yacht and country clubs, with ninety­ eight Golf Cour~s-more than are to- be found in any other area of equal size in the world. Long- Island is synonymous with outdoor sports at their best. Here are played the National and International Polo and Tennis Tournaments. Here are three famous race tracks, and here the sport of riding to hounds is enjoyed as nowhere outside its native home of England~ The waters of .the Sound and the Ocean are a r,aradise for lovers of , sea bathing, swimming and yachting. On Brooklyn's southern sho:r;e is the largest and most famous amusement park in the world-Coney Island, where a million people find recreation of a summer Sunday. Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, the Rockaways and the Hamptons, with the whole stretch of sandy beaches that front the ocean along the entire south shore, provide healthful recreation for millions. - All summer and far into the fall, Long Island's fertile farms send choicest vegetables and fruits to the markets of the city. Long Island potatoes and cauliflower find preference in eastern markets. Long Is­ land ducks, Little Neck clams, Blue Point oysters and Long Island flounders and scallops are kno,vn to epicures the world over. Whatever one seeks is to be found on this favored island. To some it means restful seclusion amid scenes of quiet beauty, enriched by historic association. Here Walt Whitman and William Cullen Bryant lived and wrote. Here lived and worked Theodore Roosevelt. But to more than all these, Long Island means Home. It was to his vine-covered Long Island homestead that the thoughts of John-Howard Payne turned longingly when he wrote that song known and loved in every country the world over-"Home Sweet Home." And to those who dwell on the "Blessed Isle" there is truly "no place like home." LO NG ISLA N D-"The Sunrise Homeland" 9

Great Neck, 15. 7 miles from the Pennsylvania Terminal, is nearest, and Oyster Bay, thirty-five miles distant, farthest. Nassau County's natural beauty is unusual because of its variety. An hour's motor ride takes one from the wooded heights of the North Shore, overlooking Long Island Sound, to the South Shore, where· the waves of the Atlantic roll up on miles of sandy beaches. The high rolling land lying along the North Shore, and affording superb views of Long Island Sound and the distant mainland, is one of the most picturesque sections of America. Here are the home com­ munities of Great Neck, Sea Cliff, Glen Cove, Roslyn, Oyster Bay and Syosset, all famed for fine estates and pleasant living conditions. One of America's most sacred shrines. the grave of Theodore Roosevelt, is at Oyster Bay, ·near Sagamore Hill.

Through the central plains section of the country are the villages of Floral Park, Mineola (the county seat), Hempstead, Westbury, Hicksville and the famous Garden City, a model of community de­ velopment. The Rockaway peninsula on the South Shore is the location of the beautiful communities of Hewlettt Woodmere, Cedarhurst, Lawrence and Long Beach Extending along the southern shorelands of the county are the lusty thriving villages of Valley Stream,. Ly~brook, Rockville Center, Baldwin, Freeport, Bellmore, Merrick, Seaford- and Massapequa, within an hour's commuting distance from the city and all offering the health- fulness and delights of seaside life. · 20 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland'

The Jericho Turnpike ancl the Hempstead Turnpike are important arteries of travel. Opportunities for motor touring to New England are afforded by steamer connection from Bayville, near Oyster Bay, across Long Island Sound to Greenwich, Connecticut. The Long Island State Park Commission has under way an elaborate program for the improvement and enlargement of parkways, inland and beach parks in Nassau County. One of the finest bathing beaches on the i\tlantic Coast extends along the South Shore at Long Beach, no,v one of the most popular summer resorts and expanding rapidly as an all-year-'round home com­ munity. The Atlantic Beach bridge, just completed, connects the Rocka­ \vays with the western end of Long Beach, reducing the distance from New York City to Long Beach, where there is a boardwalk vieing with those of Atlantic City and Coney Island.

The COUNTY of SUFFOLK Surf flashing in the sunshine; cool ocean breezes blowing ·over fragrant pine forests and sparkling lakes, bays and inlets; fertile farms and prosperous communities; miles of smooth motor highways af­ fording wonderful views of land and sea-that is Suffolk County.

ORE than two-thirds of the whole area of Long Island is .l.M covered by Suffolk County. I ts area is 920 square miles. It has gained considerably in population since the census of 1_925, which re­ ported 143,208 residents. Each summer brings thousands of visitors and vacationists from all over the country. Suffolk County's assessed valuation is $161,973,696. It has twenty­ four national banks, seventeen state banks, five trust companies and four savings banks, with total resources in excess of $101,000,000. Suffolk County has ten towns and seventeen incorporated villages. The towns are Babylon, Brookhaven, East Hampton, Huntington, Is­ lip, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Smithtown, Southampton and Southold. Patchogue, with a population of 5,116, is the largest incorporated village. Riverhead, the county seat, has a population of 6,803. - Green­ port and Sag Harbor are important ports. Suffolk County's ten State Parks contain nearly 5,000 acres. The Long Island· State Park Commission has under way extensive plans for the development of parks and parkways in Suffolk County. Nowhere in the United States are motor highways traversing a country of more varied scenic beauties-level meadows, picturesque roll­ ing country, sparkling lakes and entrancing views of Sound and ocean. A network qf motor roads covers Suffolk County, extending to the eastern extremities of Long Island. The eastern end of Long Island is divided into two long peninsulas, the northern terminating in Orient Point, the southern in Montauk Point. Separating them is an irregular succession of bays; all beautiful bodies of water. Shelter Island, lying between Little Peconic Bay and Gardiners Bay, is one of the country's famous summer resorts, with a history going back almost to the time of the Pilgrim Fathers. Its wooden heights overlooking sparkling blue waters, provide unusual scenic beauties. For sixty miles along Suffolk County's south shore stretches Great South Bay, separated from the ocean by a long succession of sandy beaches and providing unexcelled facilities for bathing, yachting, fishing and duck shooting. Excellent transportation facilities are provided for Suffolk County by three lines of the Long Island Railroad. That serving the North 24 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

Shore runs through the thriving and beautiful communities of Cold­ ·spring Harbor, Huntington, Centreport, Northport, Kings Park, Smith­ town, St. James, Stony Brook, Setauket, Port Jefferson, Belle Terre, Mt. Sinai, Millers Place, Rocky Point and Shoreham, terminating at Wading River. The main line extends through Pinela,vn, Wyandanch, Deer Park, Brentwood, Central Islip, Ronkonkoma, Holtsville, Medford, Yap­ hank, Manorville, Calverton, Riverhead, Mattituck, Cutchogue and Southold, terminating at Greenport. The Montauk division runs along the South Shore to Amityville, Copiague, Lindenhurst, Babylon, Bay Shore, Islip, Sayville, Bayport, Blue Point, Patchogue, Bellport, Brookhaven, Mastic, the Moriches, Eastport, Speonk, West Hampton, Quogue, Hampton Hays, Southampton, Amagansett, East Hampton, Nepeague Beach and Montauk. Ferries across Long Island Sound to the Connecticut mainland connect Port Jefferson with Bridgeport and Montauk and Greenport with New London. In the waters of the Sound and the Ocean and in Suffolk County's sheltered bays and inlets, fishing is enjoyed at its best. Myriads of wild f o\\rl provide excellent shooting. In the wooded uplands are many kinds of game. Long Island ducks are famous among epicures the world over. They are raised by the million on Suffolk County's farms. Suffolk County potatoes, cauliflower and other vegetables, find preference in eastern markets. Suffolk County's varied scenic beauties provide unsurpassed set­ tings for its thirty golf and country clubs, famous throughout the country. The official links of the National Golf Club of America are at Shinne- cock Hills, near Southampton. · In the central part of Suffolk County is Long Island's famous pine belt, noted for its pure and invigorating air. Nearby is Lake Ronkonkoma the largest fresh \\rater lake on the island, the terminus of the Long Island Motor Parkway. One of the most famous and fashionable summer resorts in the United States is Southampton, whose settlement dates back to 1640. It is called "The Newport of Long Island" because of its wealth, social prominence and palatial homes. Ample educational facilities are provided by eleven high schools, and more than forty grade and private schools. In East Hampton stands the vine-covered cottage which was the boyhood home of John Howard Payne, immortalized by him in that song sung in every country and in every tongue the world over. And it is as "Home S·weet Home" that all Long Island is loved by all ·who dwell ,vith_in its borders. For ''A charm from the skies seems· to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere."

EING so closely allied in their interests and merging into one another, B these two stations are the first on the railroad after leaving Penn­ sylvania Station and nearest to the geographical center of Greater New York. Woodside is a transfer point for passengers destined to uptown Ne,v York via the subway and tunnels to 42nd Street, and via the ele­ vated over the Queensboro Bridge to 59th Street. Vast numbers of employes of the industrial establishments in Long Island City find living in these parts particularly attractive, as it offers a comfortable home place as well as easy access to their place of em­ ployment. With the growth of manufactories in Long Island City will come an expansion of the territory in which they are now confined. As the section to the east, which is Woodside and Winfield, is in the natural path of this expansion, these parts are being built up continuously from Long Island City. With all improvements, churches, schools, banks, department stores, theatres, fire and police protection, clubs, etc., it is hard to conceive of a more convenient place for the man who ,:vants to live out of the city yet be only a few minutes away by train from any section.

City, $7.43. i OREST HILLS is situated on a high plateau contiguous to Elmhurst. FIts name probably is as well known in New York City as on Long Island. Though but eight miles from Herald Square, it gives one the idea of being remote from the metropolis and in some peaceful, restful, invig­ orating environment, far from the toil of business and the rush of the city. The eminence on which Forest Hills is located is the beginning of the long vertebral ridge that traverses the north shore of Long Island. 30 LONG ISLAND-"Tlze Sunrise Homeland''

On the north side of the railroad track is a development of many attrac­ tive homes, all with spacious grounds, and enjoying every improvement and convenience to be had in the City, combined with the quiet restfulness of the country. On the south side of the railroad track is the nucleus of a model city. This is a novel and interesting experiment designed after such develop­ ments in foreign countries, including in its scope detached dwellings and apartment houses, with the best of modern sanitary improvements, nu­ merous small parks and playgrounds for children, and a system of beauti­ ful streets. In Forest Hills, north and south side alike, no initial outlay has been spared on water supply, se·wers and other features which make little show above ground. Here, too, is to be found a community spirit and a con­ genial society unsurpassed elsewhere. With schools, churches,. public library, bank, ·weekly newspaper, theatre, stores, public garages, clubs, etc., all the requirements that go with real living are to be had. With the activities at the West Side Tennis Club, now world famous, and the opportunities for golf at Forest Park, adjoining Forest Hills, the outdoor attractions are all that could be desired. Forest Hills Inn pro­ vides another source of enjoyment of all-year interest. There are also numerous local clubs, including the Men's Club, Women's Club, American Legion Post, Masonic Lodge, three civic organizations, an amateur the­ atrical club, and a community house with a pool room and gymnasium. Forest Hilis' close proximity to Jamaica and Elmhurst makes accessible the high and other grade schools of these places. In addition, a private school is located at Forest Hills for boys and girls and includes all grades from kindergarten through high school.

DJOINING Richmond Hill, is beautiful Kew Gardens, one of the A most important, attractive and prosperous home communities in the vicinity of New York City. 32 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

This section was opened up through the shortening of the route of this division of the railroad, and the actual physical development-the instal­ lation of all city improvements-was begun in 1912 and practically completed in 1914. The excellent train service on this division brings Ke\v Gardens nearer, in point of time, to the centre of activities in New York City, than any point in Manhattan, north of 72nd Street. Many beautiful d·wellings representing diversified styles of architecture have been erected on this rolling, tree-covered tract, which is conceded to be the highest point in Queens County, and the impression as one passes through it on the train is that of a select residential community. With the boundaries protected against undesirable encroachment and restrictions preventing future deterioration of the property, Kew Gardens may ·well be classed as a most select residential community. In addition to the numerous private d\vellings there are several apart­ ment houses, hotels, a business block, ,veekly newspaper, bank, civic association, public school and private school taking in all grades up to the full high school course (with a high school in nearby Richmond Hill) and a country club ,vith sixteen tennis courts. On the western boundary of the property is the five-hundred-acre city reservation known as Forest Park. In the park two golf courses are within easy access of the residents of Kew Gardens, and the Queens \Talley Golf Course is ,vi thin five minutes' walk .

HIS young "city" ranks among the leading railroad centres of the T United States in the number of scheduled passenger trains handled at its main station. This is accountable for by the fact that it is the gate­ way to the entire section of Long Island to the eastward, every train from and to Pennsylvania Station, Long Island City and Brooklyn, first going to Jamaica (excepting those trains which serve the North Side and Rockaway Beach divisions). Being thus the traffic centre of Long Island, as well as the centre of the Borough of Queens, it enjoys an exceptionally favored location. Trolley lines radiate in all directions, connecting ~ity and country, Sound and ocean, and an elevated line furnishes frequent service to New York and Brooklyn. Being the County seat of Queens County, considerable business is transacted at the county offices lccated here, people from all sections visiting this point daily. The main street of Jamaica, with its brick and stone buildings, depart­ ment stores, banks and other public buildings, has assumed the aspect of a substantial city. The street is paved with asphalt from curb to curb and side streets are macadamized. The teachers' training school on the hill, public and new high school, one of the finest in the State, the admin­ istration department of the Queens Borough Public Library, and the many other large business buildings, help to give the place an urban importance. It is equipped with a modern sewer system, city police and fire protection, electric light and gas, has parks, three hospitals, public library, six large· theatres, social and golf clubs, a daily and two weekly newspapers, and public buildings too numerous to mention are among its assets. In Jamaica is to be found a refined and cultured population. Its churches of every denomination, literary and musical clubs, schools, etc., are among the best in the country. Nearly all fraternal organizations are represented. On the side streets and hill section of Jamaica are innumerable residences-homes of men prominent in business in Jamaica and New York City. The housing prob­ lem has been met in Jamaica by the construction of numerous homes and apartments. Jamaica and vicinity in close proximity to Jamaica Bay offers· un­ limited possibilities for the investor. In the very near future Jamaica Bay will be dredged and developed into a great land-locked deep-water harbor. The recognized necessity as well as the constant agitation in favor of this assures its completion. Thus developments and property for many miles around will greatly increase in value. These wonderful possibilities have been anticipated by Mr. Samuel Eichen who has for thirty-five years successfully developed Long Island properties. Rockaway Boulevard Park, a Samuel Eichen Organization water-front development situated on Rockaway Boulevard near Cedar­ hurst, with hook creek winding all through the property giving access by small boats to Jamaica Bay and the ocean, is one of the most promi­ nent investments in this locality. 34 LONG ISLAND-•'The Sunrise Homeland'' l SAMUEL EICHEN

ICTURES tell the story but cold printed type is needed to record the Pfacts in the development of Bellerose, one of the most attractive home communities on Long Island. However, neither pictures nor type can convey the true charm-the spirit of friendliness and hospitality which are in a large degree responsible for its rapid upbuilding. Bellerose was laid out from an unusual plan conceived by its developer, 44 LONG ISLAND-''The Sunrise Homeland''

Mrs. Helen M. Marsh, and the fact that it has become so popular among the lovers of "real homes" proves the wisdom of the plan. From the most attractive brick station of Mission architecture the streets radiate to the development's boundary lines, like the spokes of a wheel, bringing any home on the property to within six minutes' walk of the station. The prettily laid out gardens of the home owners, the trees and shrubs which line the streets, and the fact that no two houses are alike from outward appearances, have greatly enhanced the beauty of the surround­ ings and thereby added another contributing factor to Bellerose's like­ ability. A glance at the map will show that Bellerose is the first station on the raiiroad outside of Greater New York. This is considered somewhat of an advantage because while being physically in New York City, but actually outside, the difference in taxation is an item. . The well thought out restrictions, the excellent electric train service with express trains running through to New York without stop; the fact that bus service to Jamaica and Mineola is within a few minutes' walk, and ·a hundred and one other things so necessary to a complete homeplace, are all enjoyed by the people of Bellerose. Nearby is a modern graded school, an exceptionally fine high school, churches of all denominations, two mail deliveries a day, stores, theatre, etc., while country clubs and the ocean are only half an hour's drive away. The social life centers about a community house and on the premises are several splendid tennis courts. Bellerose has its own police protection, fire department and electric alarm system, and ash and garbage removal service. On the north and west boundaries of Bellerose proper great numbers of detached dwellings are being erected and quickly tenanted.

SUBURBAN community is all that its citizens make it, and the A people of Floral Park have not overlooked a single opportunity. Although blessed with an appealing name since its inception 38 years ago, even this must make way for the greater and broader term which has been applied to the community by those who know and love it­ for it breathes of the spirit of that which is dear to the hearts of all-­ Home. "Neighborly Town" is the appellation fondly applied by its inhabitants, and the teachings of neighborliness have been bred into the place ever since the late John Lewis Childs, florist, carved out of the vast area of Hempstead Plains this choice location for his activities. Today the village has 14 miles of tarvia roadways lined with huge maples, making a wonderfully pleasing gateway to Nassau County. Recent years have seen a vast increase in the number of private dwellings and the prospective resident is delighted with the natural beauty of the country and pleased with the excellent shopping district, graded school, and the splendid train service to the city. Plans for a new $1,000,- 000 high school have been approved, and a second grammar school to cost $600,000 is now under construction. The Lions Club, a very active body of business men, are materially aiding the growth of the town. Among the attractions that make for the desirability of a community churches hold first place and Floral Park is fortunate in having Methodist, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic institutions. Among its improvements are gas, water, electric light, cement sidewalks, miles of macadam streets, two banks, two motion picture theatres, police, and a motorized fire department.

Situated in T the center of Nassau County, with three hundred years of organization behind it, it is today one of the busiest and wealthiest villages on Long Island. Arriving at the railroad depot on Fulton Avenue you have spread out around you Fulton Park, a well kept and inviting recreation center. The Presbyterian Church, said to be the oldest Presbyterian church organization in America, separates .the Park from the depot and directly opposite is the Village Building, a modern three-story fire-proof brick edifice, containing the Village offices and fire headquarters. This adjoins the Hempstead Theatre, built with local capital and having a seating capacity of 2,000. Hempstead also has three other theatres. Hempstead is certainly a busy place, for, in addition to its own popula­ tion, it is the shopping center for the neighboring communities. The best evidence of the wealth and business activity of Hempstead is the financial reports of the three banks located in the \Tillage, namely, the First National, the Second National, and the Hempstead Bank. These· with the fine department stores and general merchandise establishments, clearly bespeak enterprise and energy. There are ehurches of every denomination within its boundaries, five imposing public schools of which the High School is said to be one of the finest in the State. In addition to the public schools, there are two business schools, a Roman Catholic Parochial school and the Sacred Heart Seminary, a Catholic school for girls. Eight n1odern apartment houses have recently been completed. I ts highways are well paved, broad and inviting, and bordered by tall trees and the main roads of the Island leading from the north to the south shore pass through Hempstead. The Town Hall, a magnificent public building, located on Front Street, contains, in addition to council rooms, town offices, etc., the most beautiful court room used by a Justice of the Peace in this State. Here, also, will be found subordinate .lodges and camps of nearly every fraternal order known. It has bus service to Brooklyn, Jamaica and Mineola, and the civic pride of its citizens for the welfare of Hempstead presages success and progress. Hempstead has its own municipal sewer system, water service, and has an ornamental street lighting system. South of Hempstead is a lake over two miles long, and less than a half mile wide surrounding which the State of New York has developed into a State park. On the banks of this lake the Hempstead Country Club has built its eighteen-hole golf course. This country club with its links, its tennis courts, and large club house, is the center of the community social life. ·

EYOND Floral Park on the Main Line of the Railroad is Ne\v Hyde B Park, a thrifty little town bordering the Hempstead Plains, and ad­ joining the northwesterly section of the Village of Garden City. The village is served by-one of Long Island's most famous motor highways­ the Jericho Turn pike. This community is composed of modest houses and cottages, which make its streets and lanes attractive. Originally New Hyde Park \Vas a trading center and farming was carried on extensively. The farms are now being cut up into homesites and during the past year many acres of farm land have been converted into building plots, with broad streets, up-to-date stores, and water, gas and electricity have brought the village up to a par with its neighbors.

On a tract of land over two acres in extent is a fine parochial school. The motor parkway passes through the eastern limits of the town. I ts churches include every denomination and the fraternal orders are many. It has also the following associations which represent the professional element: The Nassau County Bar Association, The Medical Society of the County of Nassau, the Nassau County Teachers' Association and Parent-Teachers Association.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $27.94; to Brooklyn, $25.19. - ESTBlTRY, which derived its name from Westbury, Wiltshire, W England, is situated in the north center of the Island, a part of the Wheatley Hills, and slightly undulating plain to the westward. Westbury was settled about 1640, largely by members of the Soci~ty of Friends. After the persecutions of the Stuyvesant period ceased these substantial Quaker families prospered. H~story recognized them as the highest type of citizens and many of their posterity abound in this section of Long Island. · It is unusual to find homesite opportunities _in the very centre of an old established town, a short distance from the heart of New York City, located near the railroad station, good schools, good churches, good streets, shops and markets, with the environment of the finest estate sec­ tion to be found on the American Continent (the Wheatley Hills). It is a community of homes, of good wholesome people who desire to live in the country, yet who want to be where they can travel between their places of business and their homes in not to exceed three-quarters of an hour. It is conceded that greater total wealth is represented within a radius of ten miles of Westbury, than will be found in any similar area in this country, and at the same time Westbury's. population is largely of Mr. Average Citizen. The general elevation provides a healthy climate. William Allen Johnson describes Westbury in the following glowing style: "Whatever the future of Long Island, that of Westbury and vicinity has already been immutably fixed. By the simple but inexorable barrier of surrounding estates, unpurchasable at any price, Westbury has been pre-empted for a paradise. It will be forever distinct from its sur­ roundings as is Central Park in Manhattan. No other country in the world boasts a more beautiful, delightful and remarkable suburb." The village has a district nurse; excellent high school. grade schools and Parochial school; Robert Bacon Memorial Library for children; the Meet­ ing Houses of the Society of Friends; Episcopal, Methodist and Roman Catholic Churches; a motor equipped Fire' Department; well paved streets · and side-walks; a four-well artesian water plant, furnishing the finest water; gas; electricity; the Robert Bacon Post of the American Legion; Board of Trade; a Chapter of Masons with their new Temple; Knights of Columbus; Order of the Eastern Star; Catholic Daughters of America. There are two banks in the village each in a new modern building; Sav­ ings and Loan Association; a modern theatre; two coal yards; lumber yard; several large nurseries; and up-to-date stores, markets and shops. The organized business of Westbury is represented by an active Chamber of Commerce.

ICKSVILLE has been so modernized of late that some of its older H inhabitants would hardly know it if they were suddenly precipitated into its streets after a long absence. I ts factories have grown in number, size and output; innumerable attractive homes have been erected and its wide, clean, business like main street impresses one that this is a healthy, thrifty place to settle in. · In the early days of the Long Island Railroad Hicksville was the ter­ minus of the line, and so remained for a number of years, until the line was extended to Greenport. As towns quickly develop where rail­ road facilities are best, this is perhaps the cause of the rapid growth of this busy, booming town. As well as being served by trains of the Main Line it also enjoys the advantage of trains of the Wading River branch, which branch turns off at this point. A beautiful station stands in the center of well-laid-out grounds, ornamented by shrubs, trees, etc., and redoubles the first impression of the visitor. Hicksville is the shopping center of a large area of surrounding small communities. Hundreds of its townspeople are given employment in the shirt and dress factories and in the silk mill and planing and trim mill. The florist industry has recently settled here with large glass surface, filling a great portion of the city's demands; a seed and bulb plant has opened for business, occupying about 15 acres or more, and two con­ cerns in the stone products business have now settled here, all of which offer greater opportunities for employment. The village has two elementary schools, a parochial and high school, fire protection, municipal street water plant, sidewalk district, garbage removal service, good cement and macadam roads, electric light, gas, two local newspapers, the oldest being the Hicksville.News, founded in 1898, a Chamher of Commerce, consisting of the leading business men of the town, chain stores, motion picture theatres, two banks, hotels, and churches of all denominations. I ts fraternal orders are: Masons, Order of the Eastern Star, Amaranth Court, Knights of Columbus, Oddfellows, Royal Arcanum and Patriotic Sons of America, Junior Order of American Mechanics. I ts clubs are: Hicksville Civic Club, Masonic. Club, Y. W. ·c. A., Hicks­ ville A. C., Hicksville B. B. C., and American Legion, Circle Club.

Then rumors of its benefits as a sanitarium were repeated here and there, and presently people began to investigate for themselves. The sea breezes passing over the pines absorb an elixir, bringing health and invigoration in every breath. The wind blowing through these pines sounds to one like the roar of the ocean or a great waterfall. Records kept over a period of 12 years show that Brentwood has about 70 more days of sun­ shine annually than New York City.

REENPORT, the terminus of the Main Line of the railroad, is an G interesting town, ideally located on the north fork of Long Island. The village is laid out in squares, with the streets graded toward Peconic Bay. On both sides of these streets are large maples and majestic elms ,vhich provide a ·welcome shade in summer. Greenport is both an impor­ tant business center and a popular summer resort. The view one gets from the bluff located a mile to the north of the village is expansive and exhilarating. Dancing in the sunlight are the waters of the Sound stretch­ ing away to the green shores of Connecticut and to the south Peconic Bay, a glittering sapphire set between the green heights of Shelter Island and Green port's tree-clad shores. The north fluke of Long Island extends on from Greenport beyond the pretty village of East Marion and Orient, always attractive to summer visitors to its end at Orient Point. Here the land, which has been gradu­ ally becoi:iing narrower, dips into the sea and beyond lies the chain of well-known islands-Plum Island, Little Gull and Great Gull Island and Fisher's Island-reaching nearly to the Connecticut and Rhode Island coasts. Greenport can ,vell feel proud of its harbor, which is unsurpassed on the Atlantic Coast. There is sufficient depth of water here for the largest ships and yet so sheltered is this beautiful harbor that the smallest power boat can navigate in perfect safety. Quite naturally, with such a fine harbor, the principal industry is ship­ building. I ts large shipyards are known the length of the Atlantic Coast and won fame during the late World War. The oyster business has also done much towards building up this progressive village, and the farms hereabouts are ·well known for their productiveness. Greenport has several of the most modern and sanitary oyster opening shops along the coast and shipments of oysters are sent regularly to the Pacific Coast and else,vhere in the country . .A. steamer makes t\vo round-trips daily bet,veen here and Montauk and New London, Conn., and a frequent ferry service connects it ,vith Shelter Island across the bay. During the summer months the splendid hotels and boarding houses of both Greenport and Orient are occupied by those ·who find in this localitv

the ideal spot to spend the summer vacation. J Greenport has excellent school facilities, fine churches, light and water plant, hospital, improved roads and side·walks, commodious hotels, free public library, moving picture house, two newspapers and two national banks. The Exchange Club, representing the leading business men are diligently working for the interests of the community. LONG ISLA ND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 93 ----·-.. ---~

THE NORTH SHORE

MORE and more is the North.Shore coming to have a fuller meaning in the varied life of Long Island. There is a curious lack in America of suburban country offering at once both the sweep of open water and the quiet of hill and woodland. Almost along the entire front of the North ·Shore there is to be had this rare combination, so satisfying to the country dweller who does not willingly abandon either the stretch of bay or open sea on the one hand or the brushwood on the other. The North Shore is served by the , the Port Wash­ ington Branch, the Oyster Bay Branch and the \Vading River Branch of the railroad, and on every one of these branches there is a charming variety of scenery which in itself offers a s1:1fficient excuse for the home­ seeker to give any one of these delightful communities consideration.

LMHURST is one of the villages which present much of interest to E those who value historical associations. It was settled in 1652 by a company of Englishmen from New England. The village was begun on what is now Queens Boulevard just east of Broadway, where a group of cottages fashioned after those in New England, of simple construction and roofed with thatch, were built. One of the developments in Elmhurst regarded among the finest resi­ dential sections on the North Shore of Queens County, are the one-family houses on Whitney Avenue, which are owned and occupied by prominent people in public life. This section has been greatly improved with the erection of imposing buildings, some of which are, Ne\\-?town High School, Masonic Temple, Knights of Columbus Building, and the One Million Dollar Home of Queensboro Lodge of Elks. Queens Boulevard in the central part of Elmhurst has been widened to the width of 200 feet. In addition to the present transit facilities, plans have been made for a subway to be constructed along Queens Boulevard to Broadway and cover two additional territories, one northwesterly along Broadway, while the other continues west on Queens Boulevard. The houses being constructed vary in prices. Elmhurst has its shopping centers, theatres, schools, churches and banks. Apartment houses at popular price rentals are being constructed, while numerous one and two-family houses have been built during the past year. Elmhurst is the only adjacent community to Jack­ son Heights, one of the foremost co-operative apartment residential sec­ tions of New York City. 96 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

It is built up with homes of a more pretentious type than the older part of the community.

There was quite a settlement at this time, and manu­ facturers, noting the many facilities offered them, located their plants here. It is essentially a manufacturing to,vn-the industrial center of the Flushing district. The fact that it is a manufacturing town has not affected its charm as a home secti()n and many fine modern residences on streets shaded by fine old trees n1ake the community attractive.

It combines the dig­ nity of age with the youth of modern advancement. It is one of the oldest and fastest growing communities on Long Island. The location of Flushing is ideal. Its proximity to Manhattan, and the frequent electric train service, due to the fact that two branches of the railroad pass through it, with a station on each branch, make it hardly necessary to refer to a time table. A trolley line also connects Flushing with Manhattan and runs south to Jamaica where connections can be made with lines running to the Rockaways and east on Long Island. On January 21st of this year the extension of the subway from Corona to Flushing was opened up, providing city rapid transit for the people of Flushing and vicinity direct to New York City. It is a residence town par excellence, a goodly number of its residents being in business in New York City. 100 LONG ISLAND-''The Sunrise Homeland'

NE-HALF mile beyond Murray Hill is Broadway Station. The O station is a model of mqdern efforts as produced by a railroad com­ pany for the convenience of its patrons. -In the main, the territory covered by this station, until a few years ago, was wide open country with large patches of woodland. Today one finds it a highly restricted locality dotted with cozy homes and spacious dwellings. This section ad­ joins on both sides the Northern Boulevard (formerly known as Broad­ way), which runs along the North Shore of Long Island. This artery of motor delight is a picturesque highway of asphalt, teeming with life, and beautifully bordered with residences and fine foliage. A man desiring a home in the suburbs will find every convenience and comfort at Broad­ way-Flushing-electricity, gas, water, sewers in many streets, fire and police protection; also city ash and garbage removal. Churches of all denominations are immediately available. This section has its own shopping center with all kinds of stores, adjacent to the station. Broadway-Flushing is within easy walking distance of Kissena Lake, and the city has purchased a large tract of land adjoining Kissena Lake and Park for a city golf course. In the park are tennis courts, baseball fields and other amusements. This section is very convenient to the Old Flushing Golf and Country Club, Pomonok Golf Club, and the Oakland Golf Club. In addition, there are men's and women's clubs for social and civic interests. The well-known Flushing Garden Club, perhaps being one of the µnest garden clubs in this section of the country, is one. One of the finest Y.M.C.A. buildings on Long Island has been finished on Northern Boulevard, a fifteen minutes' walk or short bus ride from this section. The city has built two additional modern schools in this section, taking a child through Kindergarten, Primary and Grammar grades. can be reached in ten minutes by bus or train. The Dual Subway to Main Street, Flushing, is one mile from the Broadway Station. LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 103

One of the more recent developments in this section is "Treasureland," where 1,000 detached houses have been built, as well as a theatre and apartment houses. The country in the vicinity of the station rises gently towards the north and it is in this section that many houses have been erected. With Bayside and Flushing so near at hand the many facilities of those places augment the stores of this section. Two ·new schools add to Auburndale's educational facilities. One of the most recent improvements at Auburndale is the eight-foot trunk-sewer.

ISTORY reveals that the earliest inhabitants of Bayside were a tribe H of Indians called the Merokes, and that the first white settler was John Rodman, a disciple of William Penn, who built his dwelling here some two centuries ago. However, the village is said to have been first settled on a larger scale in 1645 when the Dutch came here from Man­ hattan Island. Bayside has always been known as one of the most progressive places on the North Shore of Long Island, and is particularly fortunate in its location at the easterly door of Manhattan. It holds a commanding posi­ tion overlooking a point where the East River, Long Island Sound and Little N eek Bay merge, and is noted for its healthfulness, beauty and aquatic sports. The bay is very pretty-a wedge of blue water between high hills fringed with trees and adorned with fine residences. It is typical of what Long Island has to offer for the best one mar get out of suburban life. Here at your very door is boating, bathing, fishing, etc., in Little Neck Bay, as well as tennis, golf and other forms of recreation. · The homes are very tastefully built, and its streets are shaded with fine old trees which add charm and attractiveness to the surroundings. Being within the city limits, its residents have the advantages of municipal fire and police protection, and all the improvements that go with a New York community. The social life is desirable and its educa­ tional facilities of growing strength.

Bayside has two yacht clubs. a canoe club, tennis club, several men's clubs and a women's club, which are prominent in the lives of the residents. Three golf clubs nearby offer inducements to the enthusiasts of the game, and combined with a large theatre, two banks, newspaper, public library, electric train service, as well as churches of all denominations, Bayside has an appeal to the homeseeker which must not be overlooked. On the Sound shore, known as Wil1et's Point, is a prominent military post, with Fort Totten guarding the entrance to New York Harbor.

It is the last village in the limits of New York City, on the north shore. It has grown from a quiet, suburban community with its village life to a thriving, active center of modern homes, many new modern stores, and a public school which has kindergarten, primary, and grammar grades complete. The bus on the main highway is twenty minutes from the High School in Flushing. The new Community Church is a short distance from the village which with the present Union, Episcopal, and Roman Catholic Churches, gives to the community the church life so necessary for the best interests of any locality. \Vith the changing conditions the village has not lost its natural beauty and the various residential parks are laid out to please the eye. The residents are mostly engaged in business in the City but find it no effort to commute by the electric service of the Long Island Railroad, twenty-seven minutes from New York. Alighting from the train, one is impressed with the natural advantages of the village. The streets are shaded by towering trees; the proximity to Little Neck Bay adds to the beauty of the place, while the general appearance is that of a model community. It enjoys the convenience of gas and electric light, city water, mail delivery, and has fire and police protection. About half a mile to the north of the railroad station is a beautifully situated and heavily wooded property ,vhich has been developed along artistic villa site lines. Little Neck, during the past two years. has had a more rapid growth than most other North Shore villages. A short distance from Little Neck is Lake Success, a picturesque body of fresh water with a depth that has never been ascertained. It is claimed that this body of water although many miles from the ocean, has an underground outlet which flows into it.

A The marked characteristics of the land are the same. al though elsewhere on Long Island these features are missing. Great Neck is a blosson1ing highland, t\vo-thirds surrounded by water. It is a veritable garden spot, rich in soil, and

trees, charming water views, salubrious air and positively unexcelled residences. It includes the incorporated villages of Great N eek, Great N eek Es­ tates, Kensington, King's Point, Saddle Rock, and the unincorporated sections known as Great N eek Station, Great N eek Hills and Lakeville. It possesses natural advantages that make it one of the most picturesque, desirable and exclusive residential sections on the north shore. Great Neck peninsula projects into Long Island Sound a distance of four miles, with Manhasset Bay to the east and the waters of Little N eek Bay on the west. The distance across the neck is about two miles. Situated as it is, just outside the limits of Greater New York, it pro­ vides suburban attractions for the homeseeker who would, in the city, become discouraged over their cost through higher taxes and assessments. Along the water front of this great peninsula are located an array of residences, some literal palaces. · The highest altitude on this section of the Island is a short distance southeast of Great N eek station, in Great N eek Hills and from this vantage point there are beautiful vie,vs in all directions, the skyscrapers and bridges of New York City being silhouetted on the ·westerly horizon in beautiful outlines. Great Neck has electricity, gas, water, se\\rer systems, three banks, four fire companies with motor apparatus, a high school, two grammar schools, two private schools, large public park, three newspapers, two theatres in one of which Broadway productions hold their "first nights" or "try outs" weekly, six public garages, a Health Association and District Nurse, and various Village Bathing Beaches (not open to the general public). The churches are: Methodist, Episcopal, Community, Christian Science, and Roman Catholic. The lv1asons, Eastern Star, Knights of Columbus, American Legion and Foresters are also represented. The community also has an active civic organization of large membership known as the Great Neck Association. There are five golf clubs,. a

country club, two casinos, and a riding school. Great N eek has now ! definitely planned to build a beautiful, ne,v and up-to-date High School costing over $1,000,000. One of the more recent developments at Great Neck is Russell Gardens, consisting of 96½ acres of fine rolling country and located within five to fifteen minutes walk of the Great N eek railroad station. The roadways are bituminous bond macadam; there is a polo field, miles of bridle paths, as well as tennis courts, and all for the exclusive use of the residents of Russell Gardens. Here wjll be found moderate priced homes which may be purchased on attractive terms. Kennilworth, on the shore at Kings Point, is a pretentious development of unusual charm, situated in the Kings Point section of Great N eek, on the loveliest stretch of rolling land on the North Shore of Long Island, yet conveniently near New York.

Each House Distinct yet each fairly breathes the in­ Jeflnablecharm that character­ ized ColonialAmerica.

T Munses Park no two houses are alike. Widely A spaced, along streets winding through shade trees, are homes, each of them distinct and different. But there is a unity in the Early American design that characterizes the group as a whole. Infinite pains have been taken to make them genuinely Colonial. Munsey Park is situated on the choicest part of the late Mr. Frank A. Munsey's estate on Long Island's fashionable North Shore. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, to which the entire estate was be­ queathed, has co-operated in planning a community of homes of distinction at moderate cost. The great natural beauty of the land with its roll­ ing hills and fine old trees is unusually appealing. The houses of six and seven rooms each, on unusu­ ally large plots, embody many construction features ordinarily found only in houses of higher price. Home sites are also available on liberal terms for builders and individuals. JI/ode! Home now open The 1'lunsey Park Model Home, furnished with au­ thentic reproductions by \V. & J.

ANHASSET is probaqly the oldest settlement on the north shore M of Long Island. The main village is situated at the top of a high hill overlooking the waters of Manhasset Bay (formerly Cow Bay and called by the Indians, Sin t Sink). It was here, according to tradition, that Miles Standish landed, although the first authentic record of permanent settlement is that of the landing of emigrants from Lynn, Mass., in 1640. The neck was divided into shares in 1676 and apportioned to the old inhabitants to whom possession can be traced at the present time. Among the points of interest in the village are the Friends Meeting House (the Quarker Church), built in 1810; the Episcopal Church, built in 1803; the old Mitchell Homestead, built in 1813, and now owned bv Payne Whitney; and the old Grinstead Homestead, built about 1820, and now owned by C. B. Stuart. Manhasset is the town seat of North Hempstead township, has large Town Hall, which is headquarters for the various to,vn officials. Here will be found the following churches: Quaker, Episcopal, Dutch Reformed, and Roman Catholic. There is a fireproof public and high school as well as parochial school, a bank, telephone building, stores and markets, fire department, electricity, gas and one of the best water supply systems on the north shore. There is also free mail delivery. The ..1."11anhasset lvfail is the official weekly ne,vspaper of Manhasset. It ,vas first published on July 8, 1927 and has since rendered irreproach­ able service to those ·within the scope of its distribution. Manhasset has a spacious athletic field, dedicated as a memorial to the soldiers of the \;Vorld War. The Frank Munsey estate of 663 acres, and left by his will to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is being cut up and developed as a high-class residential community. Being adjacent to the developments knnwn as Roslyn Estates and Flower Hill, it is particularly fortunate in the class of its surroundings. The Museum has co-operated in erating at Munsey Park a restricted community of homes in Early American designs. In many cases the actual structural details such as stairways, corner cupboards, fireplaces, etc. have been modeled after historic examples treasured in the Museum's own American Wing. The houses are built on unusually large plots, and provision has been made for leaving vacant plots bet,veen each house, in case the purchasers ,vish to acquire additional land for their houses. In addition to the houses, plots are available for builders and individuals who prefer to build according to their own ideas, providing, of course, their plans harmonize with the general architectural scheme of the whole community. The model home, furnished ·with authentic reproductions by W. & J. Sloane, has attracted thousands of visitors from Long Island and the city. People seeking a home, as well as those interested in early Ameri­ can design, find this model house is ,vell worth a visit. It is open Sundays and week days until 9 :00 P.M. 112 LOJ.lG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" MANHASSET ANHASSET, dating back to antiquity with its historic M traditions, is today one of the most modern villages on the north shore. Delightfully situated amid high rolling hills afford.­ ing a picturesque view of Manhasset Bay and surrounding country, Manhasset combines the dignity of age with the pro-­ gressive spirit of youth, creating the ideal community for the per-­ manent home seeker. Manhasset justly feels proud of its fine churches, school facilities, stores, bank, fire department, elec-­ tricity, gas and water. For more information write to the Secretary of the Exchange Club

The name is derived from the Latin words signifying "simple home." Plandome Mills, built 1693, still stands as a monument to the earliest settlers. High hills run from the waters of the Manhasset Bay, their summits cro,vned with groves of forest trees. The bay is broad and has admirable facilities for boating, fishing and bathing. The Plandome Field & Marine Club has a goodly number of members and much pleasure is afforded in the club's confines. The atmosphere of comfort and refinement, free from every suggestion of the city, is a feature of Plandome. The restrictions imposed prohibit the erection of two-family houses or stores. Plandome is incorporated as a village, has electric lights, fire depart­ ment, gas and street water, electric train service; a graded school is con­ ducted in the Village Hall, and in nearby Manhasset will be found Episcopal, Dutch Reformed, and Roman Catholic Churches, and Friends Meeting House, as well as stores of every description.

ICTURESQUELY situated on Manhasset Bay and projecting far Pout into the Sound, is the delightful village of Port vVashington, the terminus of the North Shore division of the railroad. It has a multi­ plicity of charms which appeal to all suburban d,vellers, it being parti­ cularly adaptable to residential purposes, as there are no factories or objectionable buildings of any kind. There are fe\v places near a great city so easily reached where can be found combined so many of the things ,vhich go to make for enjoyment or living amid rural surroundings. Many and varied are the vie"rs from the residential hilltops, and as the eye is trained over the bay, the Sound and the hills,. one of the prettiest outlooks that the mind can conjure is presented and the impression gained is that this is a splendid location for a home. Yet the water is not the sole allurement at Port Washington, as the drives about the neck and to Sands Point and through the extensive estates are tempting to the last degree. On these hillsides the soil permits a larger, finer growth of timber than is usual in this latitude, with ,videst variety of foliage; the pictures formed in frames of green and brown, luring on to fresh beauties the driver of the motor, or the sturdy enthusiast who prefers to tramp the fields and ,voods, disclosing masses of blended color and a riot of artistic form that makes every observer an artist in appre­ ciation. 114 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

Later it was found the name conflicted with that of another village in the State, hence it became necessary to differently designate this place-East \Villiston being the outcome. F ollo\\·ing the demise of this pioneer family a portion of their holdings were disposed of and shortly after a gradual change was effected. To the south of the station on both sides of the railroad tracks numerous houses have been erected. A community church of very massive con­ struction has just been completed and its imposing architecture graces the main high\,·ay running through the village.

The view from an eminence down upon the placid waters, the little hamlet bent around its curving shore, with the deep unbroken green of hills in the background, is a scene tranquil and beautiful be­ yond expression. One of the elevations that form this background of forest shade is the highest land on Long Island. It is called Harbor Hill. Rosyln's original ,voodlands have been untampered, save here and there to make a clearing for a ·winding roadway, hence the full beauty of the spot has thus been preserved. These delightful roadways over hill and dale, afford many sites for real homes. LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 119

I ts natural rolling country, water facilities, country clubs and easy access to New York have invited successful and prominent men to locate here. Hempstead Harbor reaches far inland in this locality and the Roslyn sections occupy both sides, surrounding its headlands and elevations. I ts high elevation brings to the place the cool breezes of the Sound and the heavily wooded headlands protect it from the cold north winter winds, affording a delightful all-year residence. Roslyn is a distinctive community. I ts advantages of location, beauti­ ful scenery, and delightful climate shouid appeal to the host of home­ seekers who are annually leaving the overcro\v·ded city. \:Villiam Cullen Bryant, the venerable American poet and journalist, made his home on the shores of the harbor. Community life in Roslyn through the Roslyn Neighborhood Associa­ tion, bespeaks a wholesome, progressive and active community, with one of the finest Memorial Buildings on Long Island, "'·here all sorts of com­ munity affairs are enjoyed, a pride to its residents who are known for their community spirit.

UI:ET and unassuming but particularly attractive for suburban living, Q is Glen Head, situated a short distance from the \vater, with plentv of shade trees and surrounded by residences of the ·wealthy. This IS a com­ munity of many attractive homes where each householder owns a good­ sized piece of land and takes particular pride in its up-keep. It is really the only one of the beautiful meadow and wooded areas in this section that has not been taken over for estates, old conservative families having hitherto held back from the market. No section of .A.merica has gro,vn more marvelously the past few years than that to the east and \vest of Hempstead Harbor on the north shore of Long Island, and there is no land more eagerly sought after today. Glen Head and Glenwood still remain, in many respects, the cream of them all. Glenwood is situated on the "rater's edge and is \vell known through the hotel by that name, ·where each year are entertained many pleasure seekers from New York. A large and modern brick school building on an eight acre plot is now nearing completion. Glenwood Landing, is one mile from Glen Head railroad station, The modern highways here are the most ideal touring routes in the vicinity of Greater New York and the Park on the waterfront, with tabies and benches, pier and its perfect bathing beach, is the favorite point for auto parties, accommodating 500 cars. The spacious lawns and seven baseball diamonds. ,vi th rolling wood­ land and water vistas, etc., overlooking Hern:pstead Harbor and Long Island Sound (on the north shore) give pleasure and enjoyment to outings.

It has a mile of shore front on Hempstead Harbor, partly protected from Long Island Sound by a breakwater. The streets and avenues are so shaded with trees that it is difficult to realize that so large a community is hidden from sight in the cool shade. When there is a breeze anywhere it can be felt in Sea Cliff and the underlying soil being sand and gravel, the drainage is perfect. Besides the healthful conditions, one can find opportunity for recreation on every hand. The needs of the bathers are met on the village's sandy and absolutely safe beach; provision is made for fishing, boating and canoeing; card parties, dancing and motion picture entertainments are arranged Ly the people of the village; and the country and yacht clubs 122 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

in adjoining communities furnish happy diversions. There are golf links nearby, and miles of beautiful walks, macadam drives and bridle-paths · through one of the most highly developed and wealthy communities in the country. The village is well laid out and planned to fit in with the future growth it is bound to attain. Wide level streets are the rule and from many parts of the high ground there are beautiful water views. The village is incorporated and supplies police and fire protection, bath­ ing pavilion, village hall and excellent grammar and high schools. There are well stocked stores. a local ne\\rspaper, a public library and a State Bank. The streets are macadamized, with paved sidewalks, well lighted by electricity and a bus line connects the station with the water's edge, and it also continues through the adjoining City of Glen Cove and on to the beach at the Sound. For churches there are St. Boniface's R. C., St. Luke's P. E., the Methodist, German M. E., Christian Science and Plymouth Brothers.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $35.42; to Brooklyn, $32.67. HE high rank held by Glen Cove among what may be called the T noted beauty spots of the land is no\\1 here disputed. Whatever charm could be missing from a place so happily situated has been supplied in the improvements and adornments made by an old-established com­ mittee of wealthy, tasteful and public spirited citizens. The view from this place over the blue harbor and upon the shimmering waters of the Sound is most attractive, and there is hardly a drive that does not reveal a constant succession of picturesque landscapes or water views. As is the case with Sea Cliff, so also does Glen Cove proper lie some distance from the railroad station, but any inconvenience that this has caused in the past has been remedied by the installation of bus service, which runs from the station at Glen Street, through the main streets of the city to the beach or landing. It also connects ·with the Sea Cliff bus, and affords a very pleasant ride through all of Glen Cove and Sea Cliff. The Glen Street station is in the old part of the city, and Glen Cove in the new. Glen Cove is the first chartered third class city on Long Island. It has its o,vn Mayor, City Council and City Clerk, as well as a police depart­ ment, free mail delivery, an active Chamber of Commerce and a Rotary Club.

It is located at the mouth of Hempstead Harbor where it joins Long Island Sound, and shares with Sea Cliff the grandeur of this beautiful body of water. It is protected from the northwest winds by a breakwater built by the United States Government, thus making it a haven for all sorts of watercraft. The N. Y. Yacht Club has a landing here, and many of its members take· advantage of the harbor while summering in Glen Cove and vicinity. It is the home of the Hempstead Harbor Yacht Club and the Nassau Country Club. It also has ample bathing facilities at the landing. The City provides a paid life saver ,vho is on duty every day, where hundreds of people bathe. Glen Cove boasts three fine public school buildings, and a Parochial School, churches of all denominations, three banks, two theatres, its own insurance company, and many places of business. Glen and School Streets provide most of the business of the city, where hundreds of merchants are located. It also has a Community Hospital, its own City Hall and Park, two weekly newspapers, a public library, and hotels. I ts principal industry is the manufacture of men's and ladies clothing, lampshades, lithographing supplies, typewriter ribbons, boat building, duco refinishing and builders hardware. When in full operation the plan ts employ a thousand people. Glen Cove has such improvements as asphalt streets, gas and electric light, a complete water system, a city-owned sewer system, and an excellent fire department. There are fraternal organizations which in­ clude: F. & A. M., Eastern Star. Knights of Columbus, Loyal Order of Moose, Royal Arcanum, Elks, Odd Fellows, and Catholic Daughters of America, as well as Daughters of the Rebekah Lodge. Three very beautiful sections lie to the north, northwest and northeast of the station, known as Dosoris, Red Spring, North Shore and Piping Rock. These sections are laid out in great estates, with splendid roads, magnificent mansions and grounds. Glen Cove is peculiar in that it affords real city life as well as genuine country comfort. A tract of land consisting of about ten acres of water front has recently been donated to the City by Mr. J. P. Morgan, in memory of his wife, to be used as a park for the exclusive use of the people of Glen Cove and Locust Valley.

At the northern end, on the shore front, large and c·ostly dweliings have been built on acreage. The town proper has a good sized winter population, but this is con­ siderably augmented during the summer months. The Township of Oyster Bay embraces a wide area, extending to the ocean on the south, Glenwood on the west, Farmingdale on the east and the Sound on the north. Oyster Bay is the most accessible station to the water along the north shore, by reason of the fact that the railroad terminates ,vi thin a f e,v hun­ dred feet of a canal leading from the bay, making the station particularly accessible to all kinds of pleasure craft. Oyster Bay village shares with Mill N eek in forming the toe of a horseshoe, with Bayville and Centre Island on one end and connected by a beautiful new concrete bridge over the mouth of Bayville Creek, and Cove Neck, the home of the late ex-President Roosevelt, on the other end. On the road to Cove Neck is Young's Memorial Cemetery, where ex­ President Roosevelt is buried, and, in the vicinity of the station, between the tracks and the water, is now being laid out the Roosevelt Memorial Park, estimated to cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. Oyster Bay's position on the water makes it a favorite place for pleasure craft, and on Centre Island is another of the many clubs for ,vhich Long Island is famous-the Seawanhaka Yacht Club. The club-house is an imposing structure situated in a commanding position at the very entrance to the bay. 126 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Ilomeland'

EAVING the railroad station and riding along a hard smooth road L between noble trees, Mill Pond Lake suddenly bursts upon your view. If you ever grow enthusiastic, you cannot restrain an involuntary ex­ clamation of delight. It ,vould not have been deemed possible to im­ prove or adorn that embowered sheet of liquid silver, yet the quaintness of the surroundings contribute to its majectic beauty. Where the bay is first seen is the State Fish Hatchery. The village skirts the bay, and the two together are indescribably beautiful. The lovely sheet of ,vater 128 LONG ISLA ND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

is a gigantic amphitheatre between towering hills hidden under foliage. ~At the north the hills are parted and blue sky meets blue ,vater far out in the Sound. This is indeed a quiet and attractive village. The surround­ ings are as charming as those of the Lake of Como. At the harbor the Brooklyn Biological Laboratory conducts a course of study and many eminent men lecture there on natural subjects. Students from all over the United States attend these lectures, making of this antique village a modern college town. The eastern branch of the Car­ negie Institute of vVashington, ·with a large corps of investigators, is located here, also the Eugenics Record Office. Coldspring Harbor \Vas at one time the port of an extensive whaling in­ dustry and coastwise trade and among the inhabitants of the village are yet to be found many "old salts. 17 Today it is a favorite rendezvous for yachts. . The beautiful and impressive scenery found here has induced many families to locate near the village. The village has a Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist Church, two schools, a library, police and fire protection, water, gas, electric light and all-year-round hotels.

IVE harbors-Northport, Centerport, Cow, Lloyds and Huntington Fharbors-are all reached from the Sound through Huntington Bay. Fancy how the land must be broken up into peninsulas and capes and necks and hooks. And all these shores present a wealth of vegetation. Here are more green hills, more la,vns reaching down to the clearest water imaginable; more romantic. \vinding, shore-hugging drives, more exhilarating and refreshing air. The harbor itself seems land-locked, like a Swiss lake, and from certain elevations the bay and Sound appear to be shut off by banks of foliage. The taste that cannot be suited in Huntington is difficult to serve, for whether one likes village life, or farm scenes and comforts, or ,vater views and sports, here he may find them all. That indescribable charm ,vhich distinguishes an ancient village, and seems to influence even the people in it, is noticable in old Huntington. It needs not the seventeenth century gravestones on Fort Hill to reveal its oldness; you feel it in the very spirit of the place. Among the principal clubs of the village are the Huntington Bay Club with a fine casino on the shore of the bay, a very large club-house, ex­ tensive golf grounds, tennis courts, pier and yachting and bathing facilities. The Huntington Country Club has about 150 acres of high rolling ground and a fine club-house and golf links. The Masons, the Knights of Columbus. the Historical Society, and the Daughters of the Revolution all own commodious buildings. There are a number of other fraternal and social organizations. The village has an extensive water plant, a modern se"\\rer plant ,vith disposal works, gas and electric light, newspapers, two theatres, hospital, park and bathing beach, library, banks, and three fire departments, one LONG ISLA ND-·"The Sunrise Homeland" 129

at the station, one in the Main Street section, and one at the harhor. All have modern n1otor apparatus. There are twelve church edifices in the village, namely; three Presbyte­ rian, two Methodist, t\.vo Roman Catholic, two Episcopal, one Lutheran, one Jewish Synagogue, one A. M. E., one Christian Science and one Congregational. The school system is the pride of the_ village. The High School, with English, Commercial and College preparatory courses, has one of the finest buildings on Long Island. Th~re are also two grammar schools and two primary schools. Connected with St. Patrick~s Church is a parochial school. Located on a broad plateau in the westerly section of the village is the summerencampment of the 101st Regiment, Brooklyn's crack cavalry. Heckscher Park, with its lake, and splendid art gallery filled with rare and costly paintings and sculpture .. valued at over $1,000,000, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. August Heckscher, is a rare gem of beauty. Here will be found a thriving market place which furnishes a shopping center for people of the surrounding villages. A large hotel will soon be built in the center of the village.

HAPPY combination of a prosperous farming community and a most A attractive place for home lovers as Tu-ell as a summer resort, is Green­ lawn. I ts soil is adapted to the raising of all kinds of flowers, fruits and vegetables. It is on a plateau commencing at Jericho Turnpike, rising towards the north in to an extended wooded ridge, reaching an elevation of 300 feet which commands beautiful inland views to the south and magnificent marine views to the northward. Long Island Sound, with its indentations of Northport and Centerport Harbors­ branches of Huntington Bay-and the extended line of the Connecticut shore, 15 miles beyond it, furnish a continuous feast for the lovers of beautiful scenery. Greenla,vn has a well equipped volunteer fire department, a splendid grammar school in a modern brick structure, located on a 4 ½ acre tract, affording ample play-grounds and athletic field, and the educational advantages of the Huntington High School are made available to the older children by a motor bus, as well as by convenient railroad service.

The streets are lighted by electric lights. A Presbvterian Church and a Roman Catholic Church, serve the re­ ligious needs of the people. Being hundreds of feet above sea level, yet within ten minutes of the shore in Centerport, where bathing, boating and fishing can be indulged in to the heart's content, and convenient also to the fine Golf Club in Huntington, Greenlawn's attractiveness is dra,ving many people to ~ettle ·within its borders.

The cli­ mate in summer at this point is unsurpassed for health and bracing vigor. This region has many thrifty and prosperous farmers, and a sub­ stantial rural population of an intelligent and progressive character. The hilly nature of the country is simply enchanting and magnificent views for miles around may be obtained, the Long Island Sound and distant Connecticut shore being plainly seen. King's Park has been favored as the location of one of the State Parks and occupies a tract of land ex­ tending from the main highway to the beach. Modern bath houses have been erected-and already throngs of motorists from New York City and the surrounding country-side have made this the object of a day's outing. Here also is located the Long Island State Hospital, situated on high ground overlooking the Sound. Centering around the station are many houses, up-to-date shops and hotels. The village supports three churches, namely, Methodist, Roman Catholic, and a Jewish Synagogue, and has excellent schools.

It is located on high and beautifully rolling land, and to add to its magnificent setting in these north shore hills, is the almost com­ pletely landlocked arm of Smithtown Bay, which ebbs and flows at the foot of the pretty village street. Many New Yorkers have attractive and costly residences on these hills, and the attractions of the water and golf links are a source of never ending pleasure to the residents. Farming is carried on quite extensively in this vicinity and the excel­ lent soil is productive of every variety of vegetation. The village has Methodist, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic Churches, public school, fire protection, free bath houses and recreation piers, and year-round hotels. St. James is rated as the second healthiest place in the United States. LONG ISLAND--"The Sunrise Homeland" 135

Here the traveler on the train sees vast fields of flowering plan ts of varied colored hues spread out before him, a marvel of beauty and an object of wonderment. This section has not yet developed to any extent as a home­ place, but the beauty of the surroundings is bound to attract many in the near future.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $61.93; to Brooklyn, $59.18. TONY BROOK is stretched along the sloping side of a valley be­ S tween rounded hills, its main street following a brook that empties into a mill-pond. From these hills that shield the town in ,vinter time one may see the vessel-dotted Sound and the smoke-blue shore of distant· Con­ necticut. The bay spreads ·wide to catch the summer winds, and the sparkling ,vaters break in miniature ·waves upon ,vhite beaches at the foot of the sloping lawns and green robed hills. This typical country village, located on beautiful Stony Brook Harbor, nestles quietly in the north shore hills. First impressions are lasting. A.s the train leaves you at the station, -at the very first glance around you, your thoughts kindle. High rolling, ,vooded hills are just before you. Long, shaded avenues open through a natural forest. Broad fields skirt these prominent forests. Sudden views of quiet nooks, deep ravines and cool retreats delightfully surprise you as you ride down the winding roadway to this little village by the sound. As you pass along the quaint roadway, the cordial greeting accorded by those you meet, con1bined with the wonderfully beautiful surroundings, makes a lasting impression that this would be a grand place to live. This is the location of the Stony Brook Assembly, an association con­ ducted along the lines of the Ocean Grove Association, and conferences are held here each summer. The religious spirit of the comn1unity is shown by its churches-1\Ietho­ dist, Presbyterian, and Episcopal. The village also has a public school, the Stony Brook school for boys, founded by the late Dr. John F. Corson, fire protection, electric light, a bank, library, hotels, and t,vo fraternal organizations-the Odd Fellows and Royal Arcanum. \Vithin five n1inutes' walk of the station is St. George's Golf Club, one of the most beautiful courses on Long Island. Besides the wooded hills, deep glens and picturesque ,valks, seashore and country combined, there is boating of all kinds, fishing, tennis, bathing, bath-houses, and a bathing master in attendance during bathing hours.

T The country changes somewhat in character at this point, being a succession of hills and ·dales, indented with natural waterways. From almost every knoll, magnificent views of Setauket Harbor, Conscience Bay, Port Jefferson Harbor and Long Island Sound can be enjoyed and 111any of its elevations are cro\vned ,vith country seats of prorninent New \yorkers \vho n1ake it their residence a portion of each year. w:NG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 137

Roe's Tavern is still standing and graces a site on the main street of the village, surrounded by towering pines. This old house, built in 1702, was an inn in the Revolutionary days and bears the truthful distinction of having George Washington as a guest in 1790. Setauket is situated on picturesque Setauket Harbor, a body of water which is almost landlocked, affording safe anchorage for small craft, and excellent bathing, boating and fishing in season. The clams and oysters, taken from its waters in abundance, command a premium price in the markets on account of their superior quality. Several large poultry and dairy farms are in the vicinity, and the soil and climatic conditions make it ideal for fruit and vegetable growing, as well as general farming. The soil is rich, deep and fertile, and repays man's efforts with bountiful crops. There is an excellent school with ample grounds for all athletic sports, a library near the village green, a National Bank, stores of all kinds and churches of all denominations. Setauket boasts of a remarkable health record, moderate climate and ideal home conditions unequaled elsewhere-just far enough out in the hills to retain its rural splendor and escape the effect of new development. Setauket, in a word, is a bit of old New England transplanted to Long Is!and; its grand old trees and many of the fine old homesteads attest the age of the community and lend to it a certain air of dignity and 1nystery, charming to those gentle folk who seek a quiet and retiring abode in a country full of natural beauty.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $66--.55; to Brooklyn, $63.80. HIS quaint and charming village nestles in a beautiful valley at the T foot of tumbling hills covered with oak, pin~, cedar, flowering dog­ wood, and evergreen mountain laurel. Settled in Colonial days by sturdy New Englanders, it has become famous through its shipbuilding industry and its beautiful, land-locked harbor where watercraft of all kinds find safe anchorage. Having kept abreast of the times Port Jefferson is one of the largest and most important settlements on the north shore of Long Island. In addition to its many attractive permanent and summer homes, there are hotels and boarding houses. I ts churches are Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, A.M.E., and Roman Catholic; and two fine graded schools provide excellent educational advantages. Its fraternal organiza­ tions are the Masons, I. 0. 0. F., American Mechanics and Knights of Columbus. Among the irµprovements enjoyed are fire and police protec­ tion, pure water, cement sidewalks, paved streets, electric light, two pros­ perous banks, two newspapers, a public library in a handsome modern building of its own, and a wide-awake Business Men's Association.

Two commodious steamers ply between this place and Bridgeport, Conn., which is directly across the Sound. They afford a convenient short-cut for motorists wishing to reach the New England states. Another feature which adds much to life at Port Jefferson is the Belle Terre Club. Situated in a park of 1,500 acres overlooking the harbor and Long Island Sound, it is one of the show places of Long Island. In the development of Belle Terre expert landscape gardeners preserved the , natural beauty of the park and added to its attractiveness. With its palatial Hotel, Golf Links, Yacht Docks, miles of drives and bridle­ paths and private bathing beach, it is one of the most delightful places on Long Island at which to spend the summer. The Brooklyn Home for Blind, Crippled and Defective Children is located here, and St. Charles Hospital is a part of it. Although con­ ducted by Catholic Sisters, it has no sectarian bar, taking all the little ones sent to it for improvement of defective minds and bodies. About two miles east from Port Jefferson station lies the quaint old village of Mt. Sinai, typically New England in aspect and unspoiled by too much modernizing. I ts population of approximately 300 is made up largely of prosperous farmers most of whom are of fine old American stock, their ancestors having settled the village early in the 18th century. Mt. Sinai Harbor is a pretty little bay jutting in from the Sound at the north end of the village, overlooked from the east by The Cedars and from the west by Crystal Brook Park and Belle Terre, all charming summer colonies. Many of the village homes are pleasing examples of the Colonial period, and the dignified old Congregational Church built in 1806 as a place of worship for the Society, organized in 1796, has attracted the attention of hundreds of cameras. As a restful summer haven for discriminating people, seeking quiet and peace with cool nights, excellent bathing, boating and splendid motoring possibilities, Mt. Sinai is exceptional.

It is a typical New England farming community, and most of its inhabitants are prosperous farmers or retired seafaring men. It is very popular as a summer resort on account of the adjacent waters of Long Island Sound and Mt. Sinai Bay. At almost any time during the summer and fall, a fleet of small boats can be seen at the mouth of the bay. A catch of one or two hundred snapper, blue or mackerel is not considered unusual. The shore front is very diversified, tapering from the large cliffs, crowned with majestic old oak and hickory trees, SO feet high and 100 years old, to the flat beach covered with beautiful cedar trees, among which nestle cozy bungalows, where the tired business man may 1'ummer with his family, bathe on his own beach, fish at his front door, and dig clams at his back door.

It is just far enough from New York to escape holiday crowds, and yet it is not too far for easy train service and comfortable automobile travel. Most of the neighborhoods which possess the exclusive charm and summer advantages of Shoreham are much farther away from the city. Its location is ideal. From a commanding plateau, it overlooks Long Island Sound at its widest point. This wooded plateau slopes gently to a beautiful white sand bathing beach, where the water is as clean and LONG JSLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 143

HIS is the terminus of the Wading River branch of the railroad. It T is a village offering a combination of beach and woodland upon the Sound with the attractions of water, scenery, sports and farm life, as well as giving an appearance of having been transplanted bodily from the Massachusetts shore, so rural and simple are its ways. The country hereabouts is high and beautiful, its air full of tonic from the Sound, its life full of that wholesomeness and simplicity characteristic of a really prosperous farming community. Wading River has a Congregational Church which is among the oldest on the Island, a Roman Catholic Church, a good primary and grammar school, three hotels and one of the best public bathing pavilions to be found on Long Island. Among the older houses there are some excellent examples of the early colonial architecture. There are scores of miles of hard dirt road for horseback riding which is one of the most popular sports here. In the past two years a number of New York and Brooklyn people have bought or built homes for themselves in this community.

THE SOUTH SHORE HE South Shore of Long Island means just this: more than one T hundred miles of one of the finest beaches in the world and delight­ ful home communities, backed by watering places which have all the color of Trouville, all the braciness of Cape Cod, and all the charm of Santa Barbara. The Great South Bay and Moriches Bay divorce about sixty miles of this strand from the mainland, and thus form inland waters which have become well-nigh world-famous for their use in sailing and in still- water bathing. . Consult the map at the back of this booklet, and around the corner from Coney Island you will see Jamaica Bay. Follow the coast line past Rockaway Park, and Rockaway Beach straight to the end of the island, bearing well in mind that each of these places probably holds just the sort of homeplace which you are seeking. 144 LONG ISLAND-"Tne Sunrise Homeland"

OCKVILLE CENTRE, on Long Island's southern shore, stands aloof R in quiet dignity, a dignity that is sensed in its beauty of development and construction. Bisected by historic Merrick Road and the recently completed Sunrise Highway paralleling the Long Island railroad and laced with a close­ woven net-work of busses serving contiguous communities, Rockville Centre has doubly fortified its already secure key-position as the most easily accessible village on Long Island's picturesque South Shore. The railroad and these two highways, but two blocks distant, practi­ cally bound a flourishing business district. Sixty to seventy-five trains a day are operated on the· Long Island rail­ road, the facilities being increased with summer's peak load but providing adequate transportation for the year around residents, more than two 160 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

thousand of whom commute daily to business in New York and Brooklyn. Rockville Centre is the first express stop from Jamaica and the running time for the twenty-one miles to Pennsylvania Station is thirty-two min­ utes, with the service to Flatbush Station in Brooklyn a few minutes less. The Country Club has proved a magnet for first-class developments in the past few years. I ts property line adjoins that of the village and those restricted residential sections which have sprung up in the vicinity are assured of the complete fire and police protection and ash and garbage removal which characterizes the efficient village government. Among the developments which surround the country club or are cen­ tered in close proximity are: Bryn Mawr, Canterbury, Colonial Manor, Devondale, Hillside Terrace, Hollywood Court, Nottingham, Plaza Park, Rockville Centre Lawns, Westminster and Arden. South Side High School, a beautiful structure, contains thirty-eight rooms which includes a large assembly hall in which public functions are sometimes held. The Riverside Schoot•is the only one south of the tracks and cares for all elementary grades. In addition there are the enlarged Morris Avenue School and the new De Mott Avenue School. Church life in Rockville Centre is active, and the congregations of each work in harmony in the bettering of spiritual life in the community. Among the churches are: St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, Church of the Ascension (Episcopal), First Baptist Church, St. Agnes' Roman Catholic Church, Presbyterian Church, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Congregational Church, Temple B'Nai Sholum, and First Church of Christ Scientist. Three splendidly established banks with resources totaling over ten million dollars and two local mortgage companies which have three mil­ lions available for first mortgages give Rockville Centre solidarity which precludes the necessity of relying upon outside institutions for its financial well-being. Two are national banks and one a state depository which has a trust company in connection, and all have concentrated their resources, made possible by a ·rapidly expanding village, the better to serve its popula­ tion. All are located at convenient places in the business district, and include the Bank of Rockville Centre Trust Company, the First National Bank, and the Nassau National Bank. The Rockville Centre Mortgage Corporation and the Nassau Capital Corporation also have prominent locations. Perhaps no village on Long Island is so fortunate in the matter of hospital facilities as Rockville Centre, on whose border is located the site of the new $250,000 Nassau South Side Communities' Hospital, a fifty-bed institution. There is in addition the long established Rockville Centre Sanitarium, with accommodations for about fifty patients. The Massapequa Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons is one of the largest lodges of Masonry on Long Island. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows has a large branch here, as have the Red Men and the Royal Arcanum. A lodge of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics is . active in community affairs, and from the Great War come posts ·of American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars. , The Fortnightly Club is one of the foremos·t women's organizations in the village. Their meetings are largely attended, while the work com­ prises many kinds of study and activities in civic welfare. Casseopeia LONG JSLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 161

Chapter of the Eastern Star is active in Rockville Centre, ·while the Philanthropic League of Long Island numbers many local members. There is a Civic Association that meets monthly to discuss govern­ mental matters, and an Exchange Club of business men meets Thursdays at luncheon. Boy and Girl Scout troops number several in RockviIIe Centre. Their members are of the best in Nassau County scoutings as records and trophies will prove. One of the finest country clubs on Long Island is situated in the north­ ern section of the village. Here. daily, gather its members, both for social contacts and for utilization of its splendid eighteen hole course.

ALDWIN, one of Long Island's south shore villages, is a community B that truly typifies the Island's charm. Placed in a setting of natural beauty, it has retained that simplicity of the country despite its years of growth to its present size and seems at times as though a metropolis, such as the City of New York, could not be a scan! forty minute ride away. 162 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homelana"

Giant trees spread heavily leaved limbs across Baldwin's streets in sum­ mer and add a touch of New England picturesqueness to the scene the village presents. And over all is the quaint touch that is contained in every village situated on a water front, for the entire sout}:tern line of Baldwin is bounded by wide creeks and bays, all leading to the ocean. Diversified attractions are offered Baldwin residents. In summer there are boating, bathing and fishing in the waterways that lead to the village; there are the Milburn and Rockville Country Clubs with fine courses and tennis courts. Long Beach is fifteen minutes away by motor car, the drive leading over concrete roads; the South Shore Yacht Club is two miles from the centre of the village and the Baldwin Harbor Club just south of the business section. Horseback riding is a popular pastime of residents and the village boasts of one of the finest polo teams on the south shore. In winter, the lakes around the village become frozen solidly and are the scenes of skating parties. Baldwin has every advantage of modern living. All large ·dairies deliver milk in the village and one of the large dairy farms is located on the outskirts. Bus lines meet in the centre of the village and carry passengers to many points. The public school system is one of the finest on Long Island. Three grammar schools are located in convenient parts of the village and a new high school draws students from many neighboring villages. A splendid parochial school is also one of the village's institutions. The Methodist Episcopal, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Methodist Protestant and Presbyterian churches are represented in Baldwin. . Among the banks are The Baldwin National Bank, Sunrise National Bank and Peoples State Bank. The village has a well established newspaper which is published each Friday. All chain stores have two or three branches in Baldwin, and every kind of mercantile store is located in the business section. Gas, water and electric light rates are reasonable and tax rates are con­ sidered among the lo\vest of Long Island. Baldwin summed up, is a home village of exceptional possibilities. It is a community of friends, of neighbors, and a spirit of good will is readily recognized a short while after making Baldwin the ''hometown.''

REEPORT, a bright, happy, refined looking place, is-one of those F rare spots of earth that does not seem to include any conspicuous examples of poverty. It looks as if everyone owned his house and enjoyed living here. The shops are large and well-stocked, the schools and churches and societies are marks of pride, and when you throw in a dry bracing climate with ponds and brooks and shaded avenues, what more does one want. Freeport is known as a "Commuter's Paradise," because of its location near New York and its excellent train service. This attractive and pro­ gressive village offers an ideal home spot for the New York business man. The village itself is one of the most attractive on Long Island, and is as substantial in character as it is conservative in growth. Besides being a to\'\rn with beautiful and healthful surroundings, it is just as handy and convenient and progressive as its beauty is attractive. It has gas, and electric light, water supply, fire and police protection, three banks, three theatres, two newspapers, a library, clubs, and well-stocked stores to supply the necessities of life. There are bus lines· in operation connecting it with the adjoining villages and with the water front. It has churches of every denomination, and its educational institutions consist of grade and high schools. · The development to the south embraces practically the entire water front section of Freeport. It affords city conveniences and adds thereto the advantages and pleasures· of country life. Many houses, mostly of the bungalow type, have been erected on the property which adjoins the built-up section of Freeport, and being but a short walk from the station, compels the attention of homeseekers. In fraternal orders it has the Masons, Knights of Columbus, I. 0. 0. F., Elks, Foresters, Mechanics, and Daughters of America. To the north of Freeport, and reached by bus from Hempstead or Freeport, is the village of Roosevelt, a young and energetic community of many homes, three churches, one bank, a school, with gas and water in the streets. More homes are being built here than in many settlements larger in size. 164 LO NG ISLAND-" The Sunrise IIomeland"

Beautiful lakes. widespread foliage and wonderful trees, abound in the locality. Within the past few years Merrick has grown \vonderfully, brought about by the march of progress, the greatest asset to its development being the electric train service to New Y oi:-k and Brooklyn. With two of the most up-to-date schools, and a National Bank, as well as many new business enterprises, Merrick is still growing by leaps and bounds. Within its boundaries the v,ater behind the long line of beaches that protect Long Island from the ocean. reaches closer to the upland than at any other place between Lawrence on the west, and Babylon on the east. In fact many years ago Merrick was the landing place for much of Long Island's produce. The town is lighted by electricity. There is an Episcopal, Lutheran, Baptist and Catholic Church; a private school, handsome library, clubs, four fire companies, a fine hotel and headquarters for the county police, numbering fifty men.

The largest and deepest channel in the western part of the Great South Bay extends as an arm into the village and provides unusual advantages for seekers of water privileges. A new development in the vicinity of this arm of the bay furnishes a deep waterway from the upland to the bay, which gives opportunities for cottages on the water front. Three churches, a school, electric light and stores make the village an attractive and comfortable home community, free from high taxes and high rents. Water mains "'·ill soon be installed to furnish running water to the homes in the village. · There is no better place in this vicinity for fishing, shooting, crabbing and sailing than at Seaford.

The village has been the scene of active real estate development, and many attractive dwellings have been erected within its confines. One of the features of Massapequa is the number of inlets. ponds and creeks which flow inland from the bay, thereby providing private water· frontage, and also affording home owners opportunities for beautifying their holdings. In many suburban villages the land adjacent to the railroad tracks is built up with stores, etc., but not so with Massapequa, owing to the ownership by the municipality, the City of New York being owner of the tract of land running north and south, east of the station, on which there is a reservoir as well as a lake, which were used as a base of water supply for Brooklyn. LO NG ISLAND-'' The Sunrise Homeland''

BABYLON 38.8 miles from New York County, Suffolk. Population, Est. 1927, 8,000. Number of trains: Week­ days, 72; Sundays, 42; additional Saturday, 10. Latest train from New York, 1 :34 a. m. Running time: Minimum, 60 minutes; Maximum, 87 minutes. Number dwellings erected 1927, 43. Average commuters per month, 1927, 678. 60-trip monthly ticket to N. Y., $13.81; to Brooklyn, $11.61. 50-trip family ticket to N. Y., $46.04; to Brooklyn, $43.29. BABYLON does not vividly suggest its ancient namesake. It has, ho-wever, been compared with Nantucket, but comparisons are some­ times odious if they are introduced to throw discredit on its own attrac­ tions, for which it is able to stand up sturdily. Outwardly, it resembles one of the old established towns of Massachusetts more than anything else, but there is not about it the coldness and formality, the lingering restraints of puritanism, that are complained of in those towns. Here Nature has been prodigal of ornament and generous with her substantial comforts. It is the first town on the south side having big frontage on the Great South Bay, accessible to the public, and its attractive shore road of several thousand feet offers opportunity to motorists to enjoy the grand ¥later views. Enthusiasts of salt water bathing have been given con­ sideration by the town in the erection of the municipal bath houses, ·which are always open to the public. Another bathing beach has been developed and is the largest on the Island. Babylon is thoroughly equipped for the entertainment of the golfer, and the tennis, fishing, driving, boating and shooting enthusiast, while its climate is delightfully cooled by the salt breezes from the Atlantic, which sweep across Great South Bay. It has more public shore front than any other village on the Island. It has a superior system of electric lighting, and its gas and water system are unsurpassed. Ferries connect with the outer island and beach resorts-Oak Island, and the State Park at Fire Island Beach. Babylon may well feel proud of her churches, grammar, high and private schools, well-stocked stores, and their impersonal spirit, a com­ munity pride which marks it a progressive, hospitable, home-like village. It has churches of all denominations, and the fallowing fraternal organ­ izations: Odd Fellows, F. & A. 1\1., Royal Arcanum, Jr. 0. U. A. M., M. W. of A., Knights of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, Pythian Sisters, Rebekahs, American Legion, and the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion. Also a Civic Association. whose aims are for the general better­ ment of all village conditions. The village government has improved the roads with concrete, making it one of the best appearing towns on the south shore and granitoid sidewalks reach out in every section. Of particular interest to Babylon, in which its people may justly feel proud, is the memorial park of between thirty and forty acres, presented to the town through the marked generosity of Mr. J. Stanley Foster, in memory of the boys who died in the service of their country during the LONG ISLAND-."The Sunrise Homeland" 178 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 179

HIS town has one of the most commanding positions on the Great T South Bay, it being situated at the widest, and deepest point, where bathing, boating, fishing, duck shooting and the many other water sports are unexcelled. The gunning and fishing found here is equal to that of southern waters. Bay Shore boasts of its bathing pavilion which is acknowledged to be the finest along the South Shore. It is a favorite resort and all-year-round home center for hundreds of New Yorkers. While its population greatly increases during the summer, each year adds more all-year-round residents. The village is beautifully laid out with wide streets lined by beautiful old shade trees, banked by lawns, which are decorated with shrubs and flowers surrounding pretty cottages, summer villas and palatial mansions. Many families of wealth live here. From a social standpoint, there are several sporting clubs, including a yacht and motor-boat club, also the South Shore Field Club and the famed Southward Ho Country Club. Bay Shore's guiding business organization is the Chamber of Com­ merce. This splendid civic body, consisting of the progressive business men of the community, are diligently working in the interest of the town in general. It has as its main artery of automobile travel, the famous Merrick Road and, needless to say. many automobiles pass through the village. The ocean shore resorts-Point O'VVoods, Ocean Beach, Saltaire, West Island, Sea Breeze, and Fire Island State Park-are reached by ferry from Bay Shore. The town boasts of one of the handsomest school buildings on the Island. Here, too, will be found all the facilities of the City, including department stores, theatres, street ,vater, fire and police protection, two newspapers, a library, banks and a Community Building. The South Side Hospital, located on a site on the Merrick Road. is the largest hospital on Long Island. Among the fraternal orders are: the Masons, Eastern Star, Foresters, Shepherds, American Mechanics, Knights of Columbus, Woodmen, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Rebekahs, J\tioose, Royal Arcanum, and Daughters of the American Revolution. A short distance to the ,vest of the station and on both the north and south sides of the Merrick Road and the railroad track, adjoining the built-up section of Bay Shore, is the village of "Brightwaters," a hand­ some and desirable development of many acres, and a population of over 1,000. It extends to the shore of the Great South Bay and a Venetian canal has been constructed, which, with the several lakes on the prop­ erty, make up many miles of water front. Since its layout hundreds of homes have been erected and quickly tenanted. _ Two golf clubs, the South Shore Field Club and the Southward Ho Country Club, serve the golf enthusiast. 182 LONG ISLAND-''The Sunrise Homeland' 1

OLLOWING the Montauk Highway from Islip, the next village Fencountered is Great River, which takes its name from the beautiful body of water flowing from the south side of the railroad tracks in a ·winding course through thick woods and bordered by beautiful estates on its ,vay to the Great South Bay. The river is also known by the Indian name of Conetquot, and is of considerable depth and great width, broad­ ening as it merges into the Great South Bay. On the east bank of the river are located large estates, and on the ,vest bank the South Side Sportsmen's Club and several other very beautiful places. The community proper is a small unincorporated village, part of the Township of Islip, and is very neat in appearance. The homes are located on the River Road and on the Main Street. The village has an Episcopal Church, an up-to-date grade and high school, clubs, banks and stores are in close proximity at East Islip.

ROMINENT New Yorkers have been quick to realize that this im­ Pmediate locality is an ideal one for the location of the country home; as a ·consequence, the land at Oakdale is largely occupied by immense estates, magnificent in both area and development. One of the most notable is the \landerbilt estate internationally known as "ldlehour," ,vhich has been -purchased and is being developed into home sites. Near this estate and on a tract of over 3000 acres are the handsome quarters and preserves of the famous South Side Sportsmen's Club, an institution of great popularity and enviable repute. Its membership includes many prominent men, and during the spring, summer and fall the dub-house is the center of much gaiety. A large herd of deer and an infinite variety of smaller game are here found, and its trout fishing is renowned. Of recent importance is the purchase of the Frederick G. Bourne residence and 156 acres of the estate by the Christian Brothers, a Catholic Association. ,vhich has transferred the Clason Point Military Academy to this new location. A large dormitory with class- and recreation rooms has been constructed on the bay front, and it is predicted that some 400 students ·will be enrolled. The Academy will be known in future as the La Salle Military Academy. LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 187

"Wealth" and "Happiness," the advantages most highly prized, characterize the people of the village of Sayville. As a health resort, it is considered by many the finest on Long Island. During the summer months the prevailing cool southwestern breezes from the ocean, which is but a_ five-mile sail across the Great South Bay, con­ stantly sweep the village. The wealth of Sayville and its surroundings is attested by the many handsome residences and extensive, well-kept grounds; and the fact that some of the wealthiest men in the country have established magnificent homes in the vicinity. The famous Montauk Highway runs through the park-like, shaded territory and the huge elms and maples, which form an archway of green, make the village extremely attractive. Aside from the natural and artis­ tic advantages of Sayville, it is blessed with a resident population ,vhich is ,vide-awake and enterprising. It maintains numerous good-sized stores, among them, one of the largest department stores 9n the Island; a pros­ perous national bank, a trust company, two newspapers, and a score of hotels and famous restaurants on the shore of the Great South Bay, noted for their excellent cuisine. The village has electric lights, gas mains, street ,vater, a ,vell-equipped fire department, and ch1.1:rches, representing the Methodist, Congregational, Episcopa), German Lutheran and Roman Catholic denominations. It has a finely equipped high school, which ranks with the best; a parochial school, and a public library of 7,000 vol­ umes. Sayville is the center of the oyster industry of the Great South Bay and is the chief shipping point of the world-famous "Blue Points." Nearby is one of the largest and most famous wireless stations in the \\·orld, formerly controlled by the United States Government, and recently acquired by the Postal Telegraph Commercial Cables Company. Riviera Park in Sayville is now being developed for those interested in O'\vning a fine country home. It com prises over 60 acres of magnificent property running from the Montauk Highway to Great South Bay. It is the former country estate of Frank S. Jones, who made it his summer home, and is one of Long Island's most beautiful summer colonies. About one mile north of the village of Sayville is the new development known as the Island Hills Golf Club, ·making one of the finest and most up-to-date 18-hole golf courses to be found. _ The 9-hole course of the Sayville Golf Club is admirably located in the center of the village near the water, and on the shore of the Great South Bay is one of the finest country club buildings on Long Island, which has become the social center for Sayville and surrounding villages. The enthusiastic yachtsmen of Sayville and vicinity have a large and modern yacht club building. The yacht racing course off Sayville is considered to be the best on the Great South Bay. Over this course, the principal races of the Great South Bay Yacht Racing Association are held during their annual cruise week.

The dividing line in this point of mental attitude is, how­ ever, clearly marked, and as we leave the eastern boundary of Patchogue, a _sense of leaving the crowd behind us and fleeing to an untouched land is strong. Not that others have not gone before us to prepare the way and to provide for our comfort, but that we are leaving behind our haunts and occupation-something of the feeling of the traveler from America who first sets foot on foreign soil. The first town in this paradise is Bellport, on the shore of the deepest part of the Great South Bay, pro­ vided with hotels and every accommodation for the visitor and its own group of patrons who find it for them "the best place on earth." Bellport has been declared by an English lord to be the prettiest and nicest place in all the world. It was discovered as a summer playground-as a sum­ mer home for the families of those who wish quiet and aristocratic recre­ ation-seventy-five years ago. I ts healthful and picturesque elevation of thirty feet at the edge of a wonderfully bowled bay makes the permanent wonder of all. A ride on the old turnpike reveals the great taste and liberality of the cottage residents. At the shore skillful boatmen are numerous and have the giant bay for their field or the ocean, four miles away. 194 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

Bellport yields the palm to none as a resort for spring, summer and autumn. For outdoor diversion, the Bellport Golf Club, the Yacht Club with the attraction of the race week, as well as the Old Inlet Surf Bathing Club furnish all that could be desired in the way of recreation. Bellport is the home of the scooter (ice boat) and this popular ·winter sport attracts great numbers of people from the surrounding villages as ,vell as from New York City.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $73.92; to Brooklyn, $71.17. HE village of Mastic has come into prominence of late as a result of a T successful movement to make it an attractive waterfront resort. For­ merly the village shorefront ,vas limited to the banks of the Forge River, but the passing of some of the beautiful big estates which line Great South Bay, just to the south of Mastic, has thrown open several miles of bayfront to the residents of the district. · T·wo of these estates were purchased in 1926 by "The Brooklyn Citizen,". and formed into a summer resort development known as l\1astic Beach. Streets were cut through, a deep lagoon was dug and the ,vhole tract of 600 acres thrown open to the public. During that year close to 10,000 lots in Mastic Beach were disposed of. It is anticipated that many of those who purchased these lots ,vill build bungalows this year, in addition to the 100 and more which have already been built. Mastic, as a result of this development, can offer to visitors the excel­ lent combination of a beautiful beach for bathing, fine boating possi­ bilities, good fishing and hunting in season, pretty countryside and many bungalow sites for those who would become summer residents. . Mastic also possesses historical significance. On one of the estates which were .cut up into lots last year are situated the old home of General Nathaniel \Voodhull of Revolutionary fame and the graveyard where he lies buried. These are open to visitors. LONG ISLA ND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 195

ERE we come to a community consisting of three divisions, Moriches, H Center Moriches and East Moriches, where fields and woodland patches surround delightful summer homes and farm boarding houses gathered near the bay shore, ,vith the usual attractions that are the ordi­ nary thing along this matchless waterway. Traveling to the eastward, we first come to Moriches, after descending a small hill and practically running into two beautiful ponds. On the right is Forge River, nearly two. miles long and emptying into the bay. On this stream are located two of the famous Long Island duck ranches with a combined annual output in excess of 150,000 ducks. A church and a school grace the ,vay as ·we enter Center Moriches, a charming little village. While not directly on Great South Bay, it is an easy distance from it, and the bay at this point is one of the prettiest stretches of "rater to be seen anywhere. I ts shores are lined with private boat-houses and docks, and in summer the bay is dotted \vith sail and small boats of all descrip­ tions. The village, however, maintains a small dock for the free use of the public. Here will be found churches of all denominations, a high school, bank, chain stores, etc. Large duck ranches are also in evidence, and turn out for market 200,000 ducks per year. A mile farther to the east is the last of the Mori ch es-East Moriches. The first· thing that catches the eye as we glance down the east bank of Terrills River is the great number of ducks in evidence. Approximately 50,000 ducks in different stages of growth are visible at one time, a picture of wonderment to the eye of the stranger. The village is thriving and has churches, schools, garages, etc. R.T.DAYTON Real Estate in All Its Branches Acreage, Shore Fronts, Home and Desirable Business Sites CENTER MORICHES, NEW YORK Telephone: 318

ASTPORT commands a beautiful view of not only the bay, ,vith the E deep blue ocean beyond, but of the surrounding country as ·well. It is located on elevated ground in a section full of agricultural possibilities, where already the hand of the modern scientific farmer is evident in the many improved country places. The most important industry at Eastport, the product of ,vhich is prob­ ably known throughout the-civilized world, is duck raising. Long Island duckling is in great demand. For many years past this delectable feast has graced the menu of the leading hotels of this country and Europe and always stands out in heavy-faced type as the "special for today." Twenty­ five ranches comprise this thriving industry and the shipments to all parts of the world number around 500,000 ducks annually. A grain elevator, owned and operated by local stockholders, capable of unloading 160 tons of grain daily, supplies the food for this vast army of ducks.

If ever there was an aggregation of men enthused over their product and interested in their work, it is these duck growers. And rightfully they should be, for they have an exceptional product, the demand for which is growing by leaps and bounds. Eastport has a hotel, department store, public school, Methodist Protestant Church, stores, etc. A new school building is being con­ structed at a cost of $102,000. which will be completed in time for the Fall term of 1928.

ESTHAMPTON, a picturesque village, is the first of the famous W group of summer resorts known familiarly as "The Hamptons."

The villages of Westhamp­ ton and \Vesthampton Beach are partly concealed from view at the rail­ road station by heavy woods, and the traveler, passing through on the train, gets but a suggestion of its attractiveness, but there is much to repay a visit to this place. There are many attractive cottages and bungalows bordering on the ·water occupied by summer residents. The golf links, an 18-hole course, are good and admirably laid out. the surrounding country affording ample opportunity for this popular pastime.

The area within this section is gently rolling, the hills being numerous, but none of them very steep. Here is located the National Golf Club of America and · delightful are the vie,vs afforded from these hills of the surrounding coun­ try, Shinnecock Bay in the distance and Peconic Bay further to the north and to the east. Scattered all through the hills at eligible points are picturesque villas, some of them so odd and quaint in design that the traveler stops and studies. The splendid fresh air advantages of the Shinnecock Hills region have been utilized by the erection of a sanitarium for crippled children, ,vhich stands on the crest of a hill near the Shinnecock Golf Club-house. Here small children, ·who are afflicted with tuberculosis of the bone, are given the benefit of five months of fresh air and the best medical treat­ ment ,vhich can be afforded them.

N THE year 1640, twelve families migrated from Lynn, Mass., and I landed at Conscience Point, a few miles away, and settled Southamp­ ton. In point of age, it is one of the oldest of towns, and some ancient landmarks are still standing which date back many years. among which is "Job's Lane,=' a street opened in 1663. Southampton of today is widely known as the "Newport of Long Island" and is most truly up to date. It could not be otherwise, for all the wealth and luxury.of hundreds of Gothamites center here. It is an exclusive and ultra-aristocratic village, with palatial residences surrounded by park-like lawns. Architects have vied with one another in the building of these costly houses, and nowhere on the Island can be seen such a group of magnificent homes. Agawan Lake, extending to ·within a few yards of the ocean, is separated only by a driveway. Where the new casino of the exclusive Southampton Beach Club is situated. This is one of the finest bathing establishments in the country. At the head of this Lake is located the $30,000 soldier memorial. At the other end and near the ocean is the picturesque and old Episcopal Dunes Church, where many of the summer colony sail on Saturday to worship. The church was made from a life-saving station, which originally stood on or near the present site. With one hundred miles of cement or macadam roads joining it with Ne""'~ York, the way of the motorist is a pleasant one. A new highway is in the course of construction along the beach, extending from Southamp­ ton to Quogue and borders the south shore of Shinnecock and Tiana Bays for the entire distance of 10½ miles. When completed this will make one of the most beautiful pleasure drives for autoists on Long Island. Southampton has a magnificent beach and is near both the Shinnecock and Peconic Bays. The village has all modern conveniences of the city, and every facility for recreation, exclusive society, yacht clubs, golf clubs, high class hotels, good shops and markets. Southampton's business men are alive and wide-awake. They cater to a discriminating trade and therefore are careful in the selection of their goods. Many of New York's leading Fifth Avenue shops open branch shops for the summer season, and during the shopping hours Jobs' Lane and Main Street are as repre­ sentative of society as is Fifth Avenue, New York. Southampton is well represented by a very active Lion's Club. Of particular interest might be mentioned the Parrish Art Muse um, founded by Mr. Samuel L. Parrish in 1897, the interior of which is as im­ posing as a section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mr. Parrish's object in establishing the museum has been to give the people of South­ ampton and the surrounding country, and especially to the younger gen­ eration, an opportunity to enjoy the influences generally recognized as incident to such an institution. Southampton is complete in the line of its public .institutions. It has an imposing public school building; a magnificent hospital: the South­ ampton Club is cozy and inviting, and the Rogers Memorial Library, containing over 15,000 volumes, is another power for good. 204 LONG ISLAND-''The Sunrise Homeland" SOUTHAMPTON

SOUTH.A... MPTON has long been known as the Newport of New York State, and is about 100 miles from Pennsylvania Station on the Montauk Division of the Long Island R.R. It is the first village east of Greater New York where its three and one.-half miles of ocean beaches are reached with-­ out the crossing of a single bridge or over any bay. There are eight public highways leading to the Atlantic Ocean.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $107.47; to Brooklyn, $104.72. AG HARBOR is recorded in American maritime history along with S Nantucket and New London, for with them is divided the honors during the years when whaling was one of the foremost of our industries. In appearance, it is the Nantucket of Long Island, and clings tenaciously to many of the quaint old customs and habits of years ago when, as mar­ velous as the statement may seem, the tonnage of its harbor was greater than that of New York, and its income from the whale industry alone was more than a million dollars a year. Sag Harbor has two sides-its quaint maritime and commercial past; its modern, prosperous and progressive present. In the past ten years the town has assumed despite its antiquity, considerable of that ·which is modern, and has a public pier, sewers, gas, water workers, electricity, modern fire department, two banks, a municipal building, memorial library, high school, public park and playground, six churches, fraternal societies, civic club and chamber of commerce. A ferry, used chiefly by motorists, plies between the State road and the southern end of Shelter Island. Sag Harbor is a place of considerable importance in the manufacturing line; one of the largest watch-case and silverware factories being located here, which, in addition to an engravers' and printers' machine factory, employ 1,000 operators. The harbor has a deep water anchorage, and a ten-foot channel leads to the piers. The village has its own public dock slip, as well as a free public bathing beach with 750 feet frontage and 18½ acres of beach land.

Y., $105; to Brooklyn, $102.25. AINSCOTT, east from Bridgehampton, is an ancient hamlet. W Whether its natives are more fishermen than farmers is a question but they certainly rival the Amangansett folk in their love of the sea. Some of them are descended from the thirty-five original purchasers of Easthampton Township in 1649, and still live upon the land of their forefathers. Wainscott Pond and Georgica Lake, just eastward, are certainly among the most picturesque of Long Island lakes. The advantages offered for sailing and fresh-water bathing, and the proximity of the ocean, which is separated from the lake only by a strip of sandy beach one-half a mile long and very narro-w, give it every advantage of location. Midhamptons, the new playground of Long Island, being created by the Long Island Realty Investors Corporation, is a new town, containing approximately 1500 acres, 2 miles of the L. I. Railroad running directly through the property, one mile and a half frontage on Montauk Highway, large ocean frontage, also Georgica Lake frontage. 40 to 50 miles of roads are being built. Boat Club on Georgica Lake, bathing casino on the ocean, polo fields, 18 hole golf course, aviation field, playgrounds for the children, are all part of the program. Several hundred new summer homes are being built together with stores, shops, gasoline service station, etc. Plan calls for completion within three years and when finished will be a summer colony of dignity and refinement.

SO-trip family ticket to N. Y., $109.12; to Brooklyn, $106.37. RIGINALLY named "Maidstone," East Hampton has a history O all its own. Every ear in Christendom has heard the tender strains of "Home, Sweet Home," but there are comparatively few who know that its author, John Howard Payne, was born in this quiet little village. It ,vas back to this peaceful, beautiful town that the thoughts of the wandering poet were ever turning, and it was a quaint old house, still standing and open to visitors that became the theme of his world-circling song. To the sight-seeing tourist or the sojourner in East Hampton, this quaint. old cottage, "ever so humble," is one of the chief points of interest. To myriads of the sons of man in every land of every tongue, it has stood for home. On October 15th, 1927, the village of East Hampton purchased "Home, Sweet Home" by a special appropriation of $60,000. The main street of the village, lined with splendid old trees and up-to­ date stores, is one hundred and thirty feet wide, and the beach, facing the open sea. is one of the finest on the Atlantic Coast. It was here, so the legend runs, that Europeans landed and recon­ noitered long before the Pilgrim fleet touched Plymouth Rock; and the

I. 210 LONG ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

actual settlement was one of the earliest in this region. Here are found today many picturesque legacies of the olden times. Among them are Dutch ,vindmills and an old burying ground, under whose hoary stones the "fathers of the hamlet sleep." But East Hampton, like many places of historic interest, lives not so much in the past as in the· present day. It is a delightful home to,vn of a refined society, and the pleasures it offers for summer residents, make it a haven for those seeking summer rest and enjoyment. There are many handsome summer houses in Easthampton, and each year sees the building of more modern country cottages. Golfing has become very popular, and at no point on Long Island are the natural facili­ ties more pronounced than at East Hampton. With the ever-cooling breezes from the ocean on the one hand and the undulating country on the other, this royal sport is greatly enjoyed. East Hampton has a $250,000 school building as. well as a new club­ house fo"r the Maidstone Club.

Y., $112. 70; to Brooklyn, $109.95. TRUE sea-village, Amagansett sits where Long Island's eastern A extremity narrows into an arm that reaches boldly and far into the open Atlantic. No bays or sea-meadovvs intervene between it and the green breakers that roll in straight from the great depths. Into all its places gleams the clear eye of the sea, for the village is on high ground whence vision s,veeps untrammelled over the wild, beautiful sand dunes to the unbroken heave of the big waters. Famous in past days for its off­ shore ,vhalers, it still has in its native population old sea-captains and de_ep-water fishermen, who killed the great sea-mammals in sight of the village. Even today the boats and whaling gear are maintained in readiness to launch through the surf, and every summer keen eyes scan the restless plain of sea for the feather of spouted mist that shall justify the cry: "Whale oh!" The far-stretching hard sand beach makes perfect conditions for surf­ bathing, ·with opportunity for s\vimmers and non-s,vimmers alike. For those who prefer still water, there is a wide and tranquil body of salt water, known as Gardiner's Bay; which lies along the other side of the narro,v land-arm, offering all that yachtsmen and lovers of boating desire. Located in the township of Easthampton, Amagansett is the farthest east of the towns embraced in the famous Hamptons. The rising ground here overlooks the sand-dunes, celebrated among artists and lovers of American sea-scenery. The old village itself has preserved its quaint Colonial aspect, and its fine old main street is set with trees that were young in the days of ,vhaleships. In recent years its charm has brought many "outlanders" from New York and other cities who have established estates and homes, large and small, in the diversified country round about, and whose interest and love for the place have led to the development of LONG JSLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 211

many improvements in communications and amusement. It has concrete roads and sidewalks, an excellent nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, etc. The Devon Yacht Club, on Gardiner's Bay, five minutes by motor car from the village, has become a great gathering place, not only for the people whose interest is in yachts and boats, but for all the socially inclined members of the Amagansett colony. The Maidstone Golf Club, at Easthampton, is another feature of Amagansett life, as its proximity makes it convenient to all. For those who want sport with rod or gun, there is attraction all the year round, for fishing is excellent both in the quiet waters of the bay and in the open sea. \Vild f o\\rl shooting is famous, and ranges from geese and brant to practically all the varieties of duck that are known on the Atlantic Coast. There is good shooting for yello\v legs and plover, and also upland shooting for grouse, rabbits and similar game. The village supports churches of several denominations; has excellent village library, electric lights, good drainage. fine water. and ample public garage service.

MONTAUK 117.9 miles from New York County, Suffolk. Population, Est. 1927, 2,000. Number of trains: Week­ days, 10; Sundays, 9. Additional Saturday, 1; additional Friday, 1.

ONTAUK, the terminus of the railroad, is situated on Fort Pond Bay, M a deep harbor, capable of furnishing accommodations for many ocean-going ships. It is shaped like a broad horseshoe, with high, cliff-like banks, and opens into the sheltered water of Block Island Sound. It is a far better harbor than New York, being equally sheltered, with a wide entrance, and having fifty-four feet of water at its mouth and forty-eight feet at the edge of the natural wharf-line. Eight miles away, standing on the bluff which marks the extreme end of Long Island, is the octagonal tower of the Montauk Light, a fitting termination to the Sunrise Trail. Montauk has, since the early 60's been the center of the east-end fishing industry. Great quantities of fish and lobsters, gathered from the ad­ jacent ,vaters by countless boats, are shipped from this point daily to the markets of the ,vorld. From the sea, Montauk appears as a rugged, precipitous lofty cliff; but the visitor finds in its 10,000 acres a suggestion of every topographical condition in America. On one side, the Atlantic Ocean with its tossing waves on a long stretch of sandy beach and on another side the more peaceful and sheltered waters of Long Is~and Sound faintly breaking on an equally soft sand beach. Fresh \\~ater lakes set like jewels in mountings of graceful, rolling hills clothed in rich grass; colorful shrubbery and dense with its sturdy trees; great gray boulders and lofty hill-tops, from which one may gaze far to sea or across the Sound to the Connecticut shore, lend a diversity of scene that never tires. In summer the climate is many degrees cooler than nearby commu.nities and the winter is less severe. Beautiful to the eye, it is also healthy and conducive to happiness. 212 LONGJ ISLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland"

A dream of many years is now being realized by the Montauk Beach Development Corporation, of which Carl G. Fisher. pioneer developer of Miami Beach. the most successful anrl staple community in Florida is the guiding force. Montauk. in its primitive state. practically untouched by the hand of man, is now being developed into America's greatest out-of-doors center, with every mode of modern sport and recreation being arranged on the same grounds on which the Indians played their primitive games and with hotels and homes looming on the sites where the Indians formerly pitched their tents, reared their children and lived in peace, health and happiness. The first of three palatial hotels is already built on a peak of high ground commanding views of the Sound, ocean and all the adjacent country. Designed in the picturesque Tudor style, blending perfectly with the unusual contour and coloring of its advantageous site, its t,vo hundred guest rooms are open from May to November. A channel, fifteen feet deep, has been dredged through the strip of land which separated Lake Montauk from Block Island Sound, permitting yachts to now enter Lake Montauk, which will be the theatre for water sports, especially po,ver and sail boat racing. There will be a large bathing pavilion with bathing beaches both on the sandy stretches of Lake Montauk and the Sound. In Lake Montauk is a wooded island which ·will be the home of the Montauk Yacht Club, with its convenient pier and turning basin. Thirty miles of.roads have been built over hills and through valleys. and seventy-five miles of roadways already have been plotted and are being built. Water mains are following in the wake of road construction. An eighteen hole golf course, as sporty as any in America, laid in one hundred and eighty acres of rolling land with every conceivable natural hazard as well as many designed into the landscape, is now ready for play. A polo village, with perfect playing and practice fields, will be unequaled anywhere; a gentlemen's driving track and twenty miles of bridle paths will call to the horse lover; a riding academy has been built and horses are now installed in the barns.
