A perfect quarry of post-colonial remains is
to be found on the narrow strip of land lying be-
tween the Sound and Peconic Bay, forming the
towns of East Marion and Orient, originally
r— Oysterponds. This country was settled in 1649.
and the old records tell of houses built in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but nc
traces of these houses remain to-day to identify
them, unless, perhaps, they have been trans- -
formed into barns. The supposition is that, with
the exception of the Webb house, they have all
disappeared. The remaining houses are mostly ;h
of the story and a half type, with side or central '

there was a gallery at the second floor level, as
