This unusual house was owned by Hammel in 1909. It may be
that this is the wing of the old Southold Union School
that Hommel moved from Main Road.
Further research is needed on this house.

and quite a number spent their college years at St. Lawrence
University. Among them was George C. Terry, Jr., who then
-, studied law at Albany Law School and returned to Southold for
f' a successful career, as did his nephew Rensselaer G. Terry,
Jr. who is doing the same.
Not long after the High School was built in 19{1,2 or 1903,
the Academy was converted to a Business School, I think in
1908, and flourished till 1937. Nancy Bethel, who became Mrs.
Harold Richmond, was the last teacher.
The building still stands, sturdy and strong, on Horton's
Lane, and is occupied by ACADEMY PRINTING SERVICE'S,
INC., Kenneth Hagerman, Prop.
The High School was greatly enlarged in 1932 to accom-
modate the growing population.

Avenue and there one wing fell off. As Joe Grattan told me a- a
bout it, W. Hummel said, "To Hell with it! ' left it there and
made a house of it where some of the Grattans lived for years.
The rest of it he managed to get up to the Sound, enlarged -•' t :'
and fixed it up, and as the PAUMONOK INN it was successful
for a time. My High School class of 1908 had our graduating
banquet there and I remember I had blistered hands from gather-
ing laurel from Laurel Lane to decorate. We didn't have any t4 r
dippers. I remember also that we wereuite impressed b the ll
q p Y
fact that a couple of Movie Magnates were there having a con- c:.°
ference. I don't know and can't find out the names. Does any
Old Timer know? ::``
It was along this stretch of the Sound Bluff that E.D.
Cahoon, Dr. Joseph Marshall and Edward Cosden built their
handsome houses and became enthusiastic Southolders, joining
in and contributing to Community activities. Later Edna
Cahoon, who married a local
boy, Clement Booth, bought ht and
E. D. Cahoon
,ave to
Southold for a Library the Savings Bank building in
memory of her father. This was when the new Southold Savings
Bank was built on the corner of Youngs Avenue and Main
Street.
