Long Island: Historic Houses of the South Shore (Images of America)

This book was a window into the world of old Long Island and the beautiful homes that existed at one time, along with a way of life that has vanished. While some of the homes are no longer with us, some are still around today. I love looking at the architecture of these homes and what the builders and the owners thought was the height of architectural "elegance" at the height of the Gilded Age. It's sad that so many of these houses have been demolished and McMansions have popped up in their places as they cannot compare to the beauty and true style that was ever so apparent just a little over a hundred years ago.

This book shares a lot of information about our precious Sputh Shore! We may not be the Gold Coast but the home and the families were just as impressive!

Beautiful pictures. Well organized. Brought back lots of memories and learned the history of each home.

Interesting read. Bought it to see Guggenheim's estate that became the neighborhood in North Babylon where I grew up.
