This site chronicles my visits to historic houses – mostly houses on Long Island, NY, but I will include interesting houses that I encounter on trips off Long Island. I am a librarian at Dowling College, where I am the curator of the Long Island South Shore History project. (LISSHistory.dowling.edu) All photos have been taken by me.

Historic Houses · Visiting History is Fun!
Wow, this is great.
I am a FAN of the Gold Coast “Lore & Legend”.
I tried to start a conservancy to save the architecture.
I have had no luck. It is a shame to all to let this History perish, with out doing anything to save it.
Thank You, for a wonderful insight into these mythic places.
I love your site. Keep it up !
Wonderful website! I loved looking at all of your pictures. Keep up the great work. I’ll be back!
Great blog. Loved looking at your photos. Stunning historic homes.
Thank you so much for your site – I grew up in Locust Valley and in high school, worked for a specialty grocer, Brigati’s in Glen Cove, that served many of the estates on the North Shore. My mother worked at Mill Neck Manor when it was the Lutheran School for the Deaf. Your photographs are wonderful – I will be back!
