Old Long Island Turns 9!

Today's the 9th anniversary of the creation of Old Long Island - and while the frequency of posts has been reduced we're still here - though my library of images has worn thin.  Have a very happy holidays and new year!  Above, the deteriorating garden wall at 'Spring Hill', the Henry Carnegie Phipps estate designed by John Russell Pope c. 1903 for William L. Stow in Old Westbury.  Click HERE for more on 'Spring Hill'.

The big question for the New Year: Were there any losses of great houses on Long Island in 2016. Were there any preservation victories? Inquiring minds want to know.

Zach....You're the best. Having grown up on LI in Roslyn Estates I always enjoy this site and refer it to all my West Coast friends when they come to NY for a visit.
