I have very fond memories of tea and cinnamon toast with my parents at the Old Mill in the mid-60s. It will be a great pleasure to see the place again.
Just viewing this building on streetview, hasn’t changed too much. The small sapling in front ( the photo here ) is existing and grown up 🙂 Store now doesn’t cater to fishermen 🦀🐟 anymore.
Howard, Cartier's 19 plus acres estate on Hempstead Harbor, was bound on the north by Mott's Cove. It was built by Thomas Clapham, an old sea captain, pre 1900 and in style of a castle containing 35 rooms and said to be the truest castle on Long Island. Cartier paid $125,000 for it and after being unoccupied for several years, it was purchased by Mrs. Sarah H. Wider Hughes for less than $50,000 in 1944
Left my comment on the page with the 1939 Property Ownership map. The Cartier property is on the west side of Engineers Country Club and on North Hempstead Harbor. The Swan Cub would be just north of it. The number 85 (?)is in the road on the map-hard to read.
Hard to read, but the Cartier property seems to be across the road, on the west side of Engineers Country Club on one side, and Roslyn Harbor - North Hempstead Harbor on the 1939 Ownership map.
In Oyster Bay hamlet there is Raynham Hall home to the Townsend family since the 1600s. A family member during the Revolutionary War was part of Washington's Culper spy ring. Any relation to the Townsend's in the Townsend Cemetery?

I grew up on Melby, and loved the Mackay House. So happy that they are preserving it....

Yes, the mansion is still standing but on a much smaller footprint.
