and which are of a similar type of construction
to the houses, though entirely utilitarian in char
acter.
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
Oysterponds. This country was settled in 1649,
and the old records tell of houses built in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but no
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
of the story and a half type, with side or central

entrances, and they are so simple that one
wonders at the care that must have been spent
over the front doors. One little house, here
shown, has a perfect miracle of a cornice, deli
cately nuted, with symmetrically spaced nuted
bands, simulating triglyphs, and a cornice termi
nation as unusual as it is ingenious. The Webb
house, about 1790, is one of the best precedents
for the two story type on the Island. Originally
there was a gallery at the second noor level, as
shown b~' the band, and the doorway giving out
on this balcony has been replaced, patently, by a
window. The entrance doorw;lY has most in
teresting details, the door being made up of
moulded battens, put in on the diagonal, like
a barn door. Also, the cap and cornice merit
attention, as do the shutters, which open only
in the lower half, as the upper sash was fixed.
