Smithtown Building Closed

Due to the storm that occurred during the early morning hours of August 19, which caused torrential flooding, our Smithtown Building suffered catastrophic damage to its lower level. Therefore, until further notice, our Smithtown Building will be closed while we continue to rebuild.  Our other three buildings remain open to assist our patrons. For updates, click here.

Event Details

Since the late 1800s residents have built summer bungalows along the shorelines of Long Island and Queens. Join Nancy Solomon as she examines two communities: West Meadow Beach in Stony Brook, and the bungalows of Far Rockaway. The reasons the bungalows were created, the architectural designs of these bungalows and why one community survived and the other was demolished will be discussed.
