hard to find or might not still exist

[edit]

I went by looking for a photo but wow. It's a tiny dirt road winding through trees with multimillion dollar houses on it. I could not find the house and I asked some neighbors who had no idea. This is what it looks like, maybe someone local can find it.

I found an 1893 painting and an 1895 photograph of the house, but the land around it was pretty barren... at least in the 1890's. I assume a lot of trees have grown around that area since then. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 16:37, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I updated the URLS for the nomination form and photos, and corrected the location in the 2013 photo. This needs a revisit when the leaves are off the trees. Generic1139 (talk) 18:04, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know what should also be captured? Shinnecock Hills (LIRR station). It hasn't been an active railroad station since the Great Depression, but while it's not on NRHP it's still a local landmark that ought to be shown off. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:28, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
