East End Blast From the Past

December 7th, 2009 category: North Fork Neighborhoods

It’s always interesting to find old articles that focus on the North fork and its early settlers.

The following is a New York Times article that goes back to 1890, and shares some prominent names/families, whose street signs have become a permanent fixture in Southold- some skinny behind the signs!

And for those of a “certain age”, how charming to refer to one young (at least by todays standards) womans age as one who is “20 summers” old- with summer on the North fork being such a lovely experience, not a bad way to express an age. Utterly charming.

The article can be found here.For those seeking historical homes, how interesting to get a glimpse into just who may have occupied the home of your dreams, so many years ago….
