I watched as a boy, as the beautiful home of Walt Whitman, and later the Gilmore's,was destroyed to make way for an A and S shopping center on the Babyon-Lindenhurst town line along Montauk Hywy. That was about 1955. The lake was also filled-in destroying natural habitat for a huge variety of flora and fauna. So sad. Now, more of the same. Will it ever stop. ??

Help bring awareness to this. There's rumors about CVS assuming control of the building, eliminating the non-original wings to it. There are those who might feel that doing an "insurance job" on the property would be far more convenient. Time will tell.

If it is not to be an inn or eating establishment, at the very least, keep the integrity of the historic building and repurpose it. Look at the McDonald's on the North Shore for inspiration. Look at the original Christ Church building on Montauk Hwy. near this property. It is no longer Christ Episcopal Church -- and is no longer a Ukrainian Catholic Church. But the new owners of the property have kept the building including the steeple and original entrance.

Untold numbers of weddings, family gatherings, and other special events have taken place here, adding to the history of this very special building. The Historical and Architectural significance of this structure to our town is irreplaceable. It is a true LI Landmark. Please do not allow this beautiful site to be blemished with yet another ugly commercial building that will do nothing for the character or ambience of our community. CVS stores are a dime a dozen, and they provide a great service, but I am sure there is another more appropriate location for them to build. Please, Please, take regard of our communities history for the sake of the future.
