These photos are wonderful. I was just there yesterday while visiting my parents in Syosset, (I live in Binghamton). Now that I'm home, I discovered that the Elias Hicks House is also still standing and just down the street from the Jericho Friends Meeting House and Maine Maid Inn. Today it is the office of the National Association of Mothers’ Centers. Do you have any photos or information on this historic house? Thank you for this wonderful site. DMeyn
