"Corner -- Main Street, Setauket, L. I." The old bridge is the same as in the next postcard, but this is long before the Setauket post office was built. Both of the buildings, now gone, were stores at one time. Below the right one is written "Feather," the photographer. For an enlargement of the buildings, click here. |

 This
real photo postcard by Feather is titled "The Beautiful Lake, Setauket,
L. I." and was mailed in 1911. The angle is slightly different from the
one above. At the right is an enlargement of the bridge and buildings,
including the old post office (see below). |

This picture taken in March of 2002 shows Neighborhood House and the stone bridge that replaced the one above, as well as changes in the buildings. It's still a very pretty spot. |

is the earlier bridge to Old Field. This is not dated. The small white,
single story, building to the right of the bridge is the old Setauket
Post
Office, shown in the card at right, that was mailed in 1925. None of
the
buildings seen remain. |

"Post Office, Setauket, L. I." On the back is written "The Setauket (L. I.) Post Office stands along-side the lower mill pond and the Melville Memorial. The Corinthian Columns use American corn as their motif." It was built in 1941 and is still used as a post office annex. For a 2001 picture of the Setauket Post Office, click here. |

"The Dam and Old Mill, Setauket, Long Island, N. Y." This is an unusual view of the simulated mill built in 1937. The last working mill in the area was operated until about 1935. This is part of the Frank Melville Memorial Park. |
