A History of Sandy Beach, Greenport
f , i A HISTORY OF SANDY BEACH Greenport, Long Island Compiled and written by Elsie Ketcham Drosihn i 1 ' ' 1 i ; Publisher's Note: " When I undertook to publish the history of Sandy Beach which Elsie Drosihn had assembled, I was struck by a sense of continuity and friendship that courses through the material. For me it was a fas- cinating journey through the development of a community of friends and neighbors which will surely persist for many more decades. My family and I have been on the beach since the summer of 1944; not long compared to the "originals", many of whom are still residents, but long enough to realize what an idyllic place it is, and to feel very fortunate to have a part in it.

But the folks who really love it Have been years upon its shore They've made friends who live upon it, Friendships formed in days of yore! With its swimming, boating, yachting, With its sunshine and its rain, With the moon its water dotting, Still more friendships we shall gain. Let us, therefore, to "OUR SANDY" Give our thanks right here and now Praising it, for it's our SANDY SANDY BEACH - OUR BEACH - AND HOW! 4 PROLOGUE Above Pete's Neck the rosy morning gleams Dispel the shadowed night from hill and glade, As one by one, they waken from their dreams And sally forth, the morning beach parade. One common purpose, yet each keeps aloof, In bathrobe or some non-descript array They venture from beneath their friendly roof Nor call a kindly greeting on the way. Like outposts of the tribe they stand Stretching as far as eye can reach, Lighthouses on a sea of sand, The Sentinels of Sandy Beach. The expert's eye would melt in tears To view the faults he's find in each Accumulated through the years: The backhouses of Sandy Beach. No roses twine about the doors, No woodpie nestles close in reach, Black beetles scuttle 'cross the floors of outhouses of Sandy Beach. Some have no windows, some no latch, But from them all the clothes lines reach Their tangling tentacles to catch The denizens of Sandy Beach The blythe mosquito takes his toll, The hornet circles out of reach The north wind blows up through the hole When we sit down on Sandy Beach Their humble welcome is for all, The rich, the poor, and those who preach; Youths, Maidens, all must heed the call, All nature one, on Sandy Beach. And so, throughout the years to come, The Privy Coucil still will teach An ordered plan of life to some Who journey down to Sandy Beach EPILOGUE The dancing shadows creep across the waste, the breeze dies down, then swings around to North. With one accord, but screened by shadows chaste, The silent Beach Paraders sally forth Before they seek their couches' sweet repose They venture stealthily by flashlights flame Despite the fact that each one knows That everybody else has done the same. 5 The earliest items that I could find about Sandy Beach were in the Greenport "Suffolk Times" on August 1 and 18 1896 - "Sandy Beach, which for several years has been used as a place for daytime outings, became with the building of several small cottages, a little summer resort for several Greenport families". "This summer Sandy Beach has become Greenport's latest summer resort. Several of the scallop houses on the beach have been cleaned out and are being used as' summer cot- tages." Eventually all the houses were occupied as more or less permanent summer homes. There were about 30 houses before the bulkhead. The original renters/aftd owners were, west to east, around 1930: Pell Schenck, Samuel C. Coyle Stewart G.W. Strong, Helen H. Stoot off, Wm. H. Miles, Dr. Clarence C. Barr, John H. Griffin, Orange J. Doyle, Roger Shipman, Martha A. "Uncle John" McGuinness Schmidt, Joe and Vivian Rogers, Benjamin Moore, Wilmerding Yeaton, Granville Himer, Norma L. Allen, James Price, Eugene Hardy Reeves, Capt. Payne Craig, Clara Hawkins, Elsie Schmidt, Joe & Vivian Manning, Stelle Robinson, Alberta Johnson, Harris B. McKeon, Edith L. Ross, Dan Fordham (2 houses) Ketcham/ Martin The western end of the point had a ferry from the BOOTH HOUSE to the point. There was a ferry slip on each side of the channel. The channel connects Greenport Harbor with Sterling Creek. Sandy Beach property was owned by Henry Newell Young of Greenport, who collected $10.00 a year land rent from the people on the beach. He gave leases to 3 people - one for five years to Orange Griffin, one for 3 years to James Allen and one for 3 years to Granville Yeaton. Henry Newell Young died in April 1925 at the age of over 100 years and in 1929 Joseph Schmidt suggested that an association be formed to buy the beach. In 1929 Herbert Fordham was to buy the beach for $12,000.00 but he defaulted because of the three leases. At the second sale on September 19, 1930 Joe Schmidt and Granville G. Yeaton, representing 14 people, outbid Mr. Fordham. It was sold to the Sandy Beach Group for $13,400.00. It was about 900 feet in length (917.81) , 1.84 acres, with all of the rights of the owner or owners of the said premises in and to the waters and lands under water of Greenport Harbor adjoining said premises. The property was bounded: W. by lands of Herbert and Inez Fordham. 6 Fourteen people provided the money to buy the beach: Agnes N. Allen Alberta E. Robinson Clara D. Craig Samuel E. Schenck Elsie A. Hawkins Joseph J. Schmidt Henry A. Himer George W. Stewart Wilmerding E. W. Moore George R. Stuart Irving L. Price Granville G. Yeaton George C. Rayner William H. Stoothoff These people formed the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, New York, Inc. This association was incorporated in June 1932 and stock was issued. There are two surveyors maps by Otto Van Tuyl of Greenport; one dated January 3, 1930 shows all the original houses on the beach and the right of way 30.23 ft. wide on the west end and 33.23 ft. wide at the east end bounded on the north and west by Herbert Fordham and on the east by Inez Fordham. The other surveyor's map dated May 14, 1931 with the same right of way and boundries the same, indicates the line of the proposed bulkhead on Greenport Harbor - the suggested line for application to the land board. Both maps have 11 houses marked to be removed or taken down. Stock was issued and the stockholders were given the opportunity to buy or exchange their property for another with a better house or location. The first meeting of the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, New York was held on August 19, 1932 with George R. Stuart as Chairman and Alberta E. Robinson as Secretary. Officers were elected as follows: President George R. Stuart Vice President Irving L. Price Secretary Alberta E. Robinson Treasurer Granville G. Yeaton On August 5, 1938 as part of the bulkheading process an underwater grant in Greenport Harbor was obtained from the State of New York and recorded by this receipt given to George T. Thompson, Counsellor at Law 176 Broadway, New York City (Lawyer for Sandy Beach) "Receipt is hereby acknowledged of certified check for $82.37 in payment of grant of land under water to Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, New York, Inc. Patent fee to be issued. - (Signed) Thomas R. Hazelum Secretary, Land Board, State of New York, Department of State, Divi- sion of the Land Office, Albany The bulkhead was built during the winter of 1933-34 by Ralph T. Preston, costing about $8.00 per foot paid, for by each owner. It extended from Fordham's property on the west to Fordham's property on the east.

Since the spiles are of a different size and could not be considered as the line. A pierhead line was established 100 feet out from the bulkhead line. In 1934, the Suffolk Times reported that "Ralph T. Preston - Marine Contractor - has started work with his men sawing 14 inch ice in Sterling Creek so as to free his tow boats and dredges. He plans to start work this week on his contract to construct more than a thousand feet of bulkhead on Sandy Beach for the Sandy Beach Association." In 1934 Herbert Fordham had offered to pay about half the cost of the road 30 feet wide saying the Village of Greenport would be willing to install electricity and water. A letter from Fordham to the Sandy Beach Association in August 1934 said he was pleased to learn that the association and other owners are proceeding with the construction of the road. "However, I regret to hear that as yet you have not in- structed the truckmen to build the road to the full width of 30 feet. It the road is to the full width, is is likely to be accepted by the village. ' This is a condition precedent to our obtaining electric light, heat and power which the village will not install on private roads." The Sandy Beach Association apparently did not agree with Mr. Fordham because the road is 10 feet wide. The road was put down in 1934 or 1935 and paid for by the owners of each piece of property. In 1936 a Dedication and Grant of Easement was given by the Sandy Beach Association to the village of Greenport to "dedicate, grant, and release to said village a perpetual right of way and easement for a pipe line in and over said right of way to be laid by said village at it's own cost and expense under and through the lands--water main of proper size and over the said right of way, and also such hydrants as may be necessary for fire protection on said line of pipe, and the right of way for blow off pipes from said pipe line south across the land and through the bulkhead into the waters of Greenport Harbor in perpetuity. And in case the location shall be changed to other property and the contemplated line as herein provided for is abandoned, then the grant of easement shall become null and void." The road had to be raised four or more feet to cover the water pipes. On April 2, 1941 some of the restrictions pertaining to beach property boundries were amended to accommodate George W. Stewart, Donald Allen, Alcesta C. Stoothoff, and 2 pieces of property belonging to the association as follows: "Buildings now erected may remain in their present position and shall not be deemed in violation of restrictive covenants by the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, New York, Inc". The usual line is 20 ft. from the bulkhead and was waived to accommodate the narrow depth of property on the west end. It did not allow any future building to be erected so as to fall south of the line designated upon the survey of Otto Van Tuyl, January 11, 1941. 8 In 1950 each owner with footage on Sterling Creek bought into the creek as a cost of $6.00 per frontage as follows: Twenty feet directly north of the right of way if the present owner of said property shall add said 20 foot strip to the present 30 foot right of way, subject to a street dedication to the village of Greenport; "50 ft. north of that for warfage, mooring of small boats, or fill in; 30 ft. north of that for open water, or right to dredge all or any part or mooring of small boats; 100 feet altogether. No building or structure of any kind, except a dock, pier, or bulkhead, or mooring for small boats. No portion shall be used for public fishing, boat letting, or for duck raising, public bathing beach or other commercial or public enterprises. In 1951 the Sandy Beach Property Owner's Association was organized to replace the former Sandy Beach Association. The purpose of the organization "is to unite the owners of the property on the beach in all matters concerning the beach as a whole, and to foster better feeling between members of the association and the village, town and government authorities." The newly elected officers of the association were: Lester Y. Clerke, ' president; Isabella G. Lawton, vice president; John Adams, secretary; Margaret Stewart, treasurer. Several committees were appointed by the president to deal with matters of common interest to the members; the chairmen of these committees were: Weston Stuart, bulkhead committee; Granville ,G. Yeaton, road committee; Norman W. Andrews, Jr. , general property committee; Henry Tasker by-laws committee. In 1958 there was a request by the Sandy Beach Association to be given the opportunity to purchase from the village, the land from the Association property to the point. The village board had bought about 1000 feet of beach to use the Sandy Beach property for a spoil area in connection with the dredging of Sterling Creek. The Association was not able to buy this property. The Village of Greenport said it might be used as a bathing beach for residents. In April 1958 the back creek was dredged and the land across to creek to the north was filled in along with the "Point" and the land back of the Stewart, Stoothoff, Donald Allen and Clerke cottages. Houses were put up across the Creek from 1960 to 1962. On February 13, 1963 a correction deed was issued to the owners whose property backs on Sterling Creek, straightening the property lines to right angles to the road lines. The lines had not been correct in deeds which had been issued on October 30, 1950. On February 26, 1963, Henry Tasker wrote each owner stating the situation. "It was evident on re-examination of the surveys that the projection of east and west lines would not properly convey all the Fordham lands inasmuch as the Fordham land was a wholly rectangular parcel of property lying at 9 . , .. 4. t -— - _ �, �.r.:-ea - ,o P"��a.,V.. ,v .J' _ t,��: P✓ 4` - q.',-L n...,t rv^g-p` - -_ n,r _ - , ' �'ri k ` . - . ! 1�� ° \ IV %v . _ � } . . --", S f -) - - - . _ - "t - r - 7- -,- _- Qt o_ "•_ - - Y - �`id.':�a.'__ iso " . 3S•t)i S3•C 5.3.0 _ 29.0". .zz.S -l7•� t7.S \L .i 6s s-a_�^ �' i c`7_;}2_.d,ri,;,: :tt' 1T _j. e� IT (I i „] I ` L. _ _ ,.t f - Y k S.().'u.}Irhi'.'_�,_"i Ji 1 - aJ t' , 1 r ,,'q,t3;, -% 1 Y O %k I _ ,, .. . rya rt: y' •fF ,Vii.,• ,.irsir„ ' I' • 'i'1."", .� _ q:t ` 'i - �n _ VI - ,•!-' qq,•r'. rrj I�. ,arc 1{!y�_ -1, �,r ,'- I.t• l,',_ �' j ` , 7, `,7- r' T V y!"71Ei'r1Y j} i y' t ,Y Y'Gr" - ,'S'I 1L ' - r , J t =t•-[lr':ll, - ( , ' _ 4t tam _ .

Anyway, Mrs. J. sent word she had rented the house, so Dad got rid of the cow and all of our clothes were packed in a trunk which was taken to the station two days in advance so it would be waiting for us. We went by train and were met at the Greenport Station by the Biff and the Sally - the Johnson and Manning motorboats. With trunk aboard we made the trip to the Johnson-Manning dock at Sandy Beach. Our shack was next to the Johnson's , and consisted of porch, living room with four bunks at one end, kitchen and a small dark storage-dressing room. Out-house, of course, was out back. It is possible that Mary was off playing in the Chataugua tour that summer, but so far as I can remem- ber there were ten of us there. The Johnson's on the other hand had three shacks - one was Mrs. Johnson's with an upstairs lookout and turret room which was Mr. Johnson's, then the middle shack which was for the four Johnson girls with a bunkhouse at the rear for visitors, then came the dining room shack which had quarters at the rear for Cilie, their maid. Anyway, they were definitely shacks but at high tide the water washed up .underneath and was a lovely sound to listen to as you drifted off to sleep. We went down every summer after that and eventually Dad bought the shack for I think $500. Then we connected our porch with the Johnson's so you could walk from one end of the Metuchen-Sandy Beach to the other (except for the Craigs who lived further down.) And one year, at least, we rented a second shack next door so we had more room. Then the Strongs came down from Metuchen and built a shack and dock in between, so one year the men all slept in a tent at the rear, and we screened in the side porch. And one year Mary decided the shack was too dark so she borrowed a saw and she stood on the inside and I on the out and we kept working the saw until we sawed out a square and bought a window to fit. There was also the June when Mary, Dannie and I arrived and found the outhouse had blown down during the winter and drifted down the beach. It was a six-holer, two room affair, much too big for the three of us to handle, so Mary borrowed a saw from the shipyard and we started at the tip of the roof and sawed it in two, then rolled it down to where it belonged and got it ready for business., I remember Mr. Corwin bringing the water and dumping it into the rain barrel, and walking up to the pump to get drinking water, and Stelle Manning who always sang "Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon" and a little boy up the beach who was fond of "the monkey wrapped his tail around the flagpole". Once Cecelia came down unannounced by train, 13 walked to the dock at the end of Central Avenue and stood there yelling "Brr-rupp-dup-dupp" until we recognized the family call and rowed over and picked her up. A favorite pastime was running the breakwater. I think it was Stelle Manning who had a raft which she towed around the bay and we all hung o the icked our heels. There were many picnics on the beach at She er Island, some with as many as thirty or forty Metuchenites. One, I remember was a noon one with mostly children on Clara Craig's boat. We went out past the breakwater and found a lovely secluded beach and had fun, but when we started back a southwest storm had come up and the sea was very heavy. Sam, at the wheel, had to go up practically to the Pogaticut House before he dared turn to go towards the beach with any degree of safety. Meantime Mrs. Anderson sat cowering and praying. Another August picnic was on- a spit of land sticking out from the Greenport side (Paradise Point?) . Anyway, the wind was so strong the men had to turn a rowboat on its side to get protection for the fire, and the trip home at 5 miles an hour was cold, cold, cold. We also went by boat towards East Marion where we children all helped pick scallops and dug clams. The creek, by the way, was supposed to have quicksand so we stayed away from it except to go crabbing in the rowboat. It is my memory that Mr. Young,to whom land rent was paid, had squatter's rights to it, so when he died in 1930 it could be sold and a clear title given. The Johnson girls were grown and no longer interested, and Cele Manning maybe already married to John Appelt. Anyway, some of the shacks were torn down and we ended up with the middle Johnson shack and the Ketchams with the Manning shack next door. Other side was the Raynors which was once the Strong house. 14 The Allen Family at-Sandy Beach Amy Allen Grefe - 1980 In 1899 we left Greenporf for Brooklyn. My mother missed Greenport so she took the smaller children and spent the summer months with her mother, who lived in Greenport., My father looked around for a house for her and it wag a choice between a place near the shore on Shelter Island and Sandy Beach. She chose Sandy Beach. The first year, we rented the place now occupied by the Schmidt family. We paid $40 for the season. During that time we had a chance to buy a house owned by a lady who came over from the Village, with a nurse for her health. She wanted to sell and my father bought the house in May, 1907. The place consisted of two rooms and a bath house, also an outhouse. There was no water. We bought water from George Corwin for 25� a barrel. The drinking water we carried from a pump in the woods in bottles. Also, my father built wooden leaders around the house to catch the rainwater. We put a coal range in and a kerosene stove for cooking. The bath house was used for a bedroom for my mother and father, and cots were placed in every room. It was the simplest sort of living but lots of fun for the children. As the years went by, many improvements were made. My father added another bedroom and added a small kitchen, using the old kitchen for a bedroom. This made three bedrooms. At high tide, the water came up under the house. The breakwater was lengthened and the Rev. Stuart, Granville Yeaton and George Stewart started negotiations to have a bulkhead put up so as to protect the Beach and houses. A road was later built, toilets were put inside the houses, water was brought over from the Village. My father and mother passed away and left the house to the oldest child, Agnes N. Allen. Agnes Allen passed away in 1959 and left the house to Avis E. Allen. Avis proceded to completely modernize the house so that today everything is new. In 1976, Avis sold the house to her niece and nephew, Marie and William Holmes, who have also made improvements and today there stands at 19 Sandy Beach a lovely cottage. 15 Lester Y. Clerke (I) (1980) Out on the eastern end of the north fork of Long Island, in the State of New York, about eight miles west of Orient Point lies the Village of Greenport. It has one of the finest harbors on the east coast of the- United States. The harbor is protected on the north, and partly on the west by the Long Island mainland, on the south, and partly, the west by Shelter Island. There is a stone breakwater extending about a mile, or more, into the harbor on the east. This breakwater was constructed around 1890 by the United States Government. After its construction a strip of sand accrued along the Greenport Harbor side, which later became known as "Sandy Beach". It is concerning this strip of beach that this is being written. Most, of the beach was originally the land of Henry Newell Young. The eastern part was the farmland of Herbert Fordham and Inez Fordham, his wife. The Fordham land extended along Gardner's Bay and to about 200 or 300 feet west of the rock breakwater. Along the harbor frontage west of the breakwater Sandy Beach extended for quite a distance from the Fordham land. The harbor and surrounding area are very picturesque. It is a real vacationland. The water in the harbor is very deep and because of the protection afforded by the land and the breakwater it is ideal for the anchorage of boats, both large and small. Along the shore many boat yards, ship chandlery, and other businesses may be found where boats can be provisioned or repairs made. Greenport is a small village with many types of small stores, two banks, churches, a library, motels, many fine restaurants and nearly anything required by a visitor to enjoy a memorable and happy vaca- tion. Sandy Beach is a part of the Village of Greenport. This is a record of the beach and its people from the date of my arrival in about the year 1911 or 1912 when my grandparents were requested by a New York City physician to help find a location which would afford one of their grandchildren [George Schoonmaker] much fresh air and sunshine. At that time my great Uncle, William L. Jarvis, who was employed by the Long Island Railroad Company, had rented a bungalow on Sandy Beach and invited my grandparents to spend a few days with him, and Carrie Jarvis, his wife. My grandparents decided this beach had all of the qualifications they had been hunting for. At that time the buildings on Sandy Beach consisted mainly of bath houses, scallop shacks, and a,few where summer people came for part or all summer. The bath houses were mostly at the eastern end of the beach, the scallop shacks at the western end and a few of the cottages all along the beach were occupied by the summer folk. Some of the people stayed on the beach just for the day, some just for one or two nights. Some stayed a week or two and a few hardy ones came for the whole season. Along Sterling Creek frontage, back of the scallop shacks were large 16 piles of scallop shells. ' Inside the scallop shacks, which were long, narrow buildings, were long shelves, on hinges which could allow the shelf to be braced in an upward position, or dropped toward the floor. the scallopers sat on benches, opened the scallop, putting the edible portion into a container, then dropping the debris and empty shells into a barrel, which they then would place in a wheel barrow and wheel out. There were boards placed on top of the shells. The scalloper would wheel barrows to the top of the pile of shells where they would dump all shells and debris. Naturally the odor was vile. At the end of a day's work the scallopers would wash and clean the shack before leaving. As there was no running water on the beach this was some- times inadequate. There was no road leading directly to the beach. One usually came by water. If necessary, however, one came via Manhanset Avenue and then took a road through the woods to some swampland adjacent to the beach where there was a parking space and a two board boardwalk raised about 1 or 2 feet above the swamp which could be crossed to reach the beach. There was no road along the beach. Most people put down boardwalks. No electricity. No bulkhead. The drinking water had to be carried by the pailful from a pump which was located in the woods north of the beach. Rain was collected in rain barrels near the back of each cottage. Each bungalow had its own "outhouse" in the rear for the use of its occupants. They were very odiferous. Most people on the beach, including the very young children were excellent swimmers. They were good sailors and all enjoyed beach life no matter how difficult. It was a very rural type of existance. What cooking was done was on a kerosene stove. On the Fordham land, at the eastern end of the beach, was a very fast moving inlet where salt water flowed from Gardner's Bay. It entered about where the Witenko property now is located and ran to Gull Pond the north side of Manhanset Avenue. There was a pipe-type bridge under Manhanset Avenue so that the water could pass under the road. Some of the present residents along Inlet Lane and Bay Road can possibly still show where this inlet existed. In those days this was where we all went soft clamming. The clams were very plentiful. Seldom would one put a pitchfork under the ground that the shells of several clams were not broken. There was a very fast current but we usually had to wait a moment for the water to be clear enought to see how many clams came up with each pitchfork full. Sometimes we would bring up long, broad, slimy, red clam worms, which we used for fish bait. After the water had passed under Manhanset Avenue it became deeper. The banks there were of a hard mud. this area was used by both the village boys and the beach kids as the "old swimming hole" where all swam nude. The woods surrounded it. I used to wonder how many girls peeked out of those woods to watch the nude swimmers. A small hand pump at the edge of the woods served as a place to obtain the drinking water. Mosquitoes swarmed near the pump. Both huckelberries and blackberries grew in abundance close by. Most of the beach residents would take a cup to fill with berries when they walked for their morning pail of water. Invariably they were bitten badly by the mosquitoes. 17 Along the Sterling Creek frontage, across from the beach, was what we all called "Georgetown". This was because three men named, George, had their homes there. There were George Corwin, who would pump water to fill cans if it had not rained, put the filled cans into his rowboat, row to the beach, then fill our rainbarrels. George Conklin had a small power launch and could be hired to take a person fishing, or to the Greenport Railroad Station. George Hammond also lived there but I never knew what he did for a living, except that he grew a j ew vegeta- bles. On the same side of Sterling Creek was the Linton farm. This is the land upon which the present Pierce Boat Yard is now located. Sterling Creek, in those days, was shallow. Not over two or three feet deep. It had a muddy bottom into which ones feet sunk to the ankle if one tried to walk. It was filled with hard shell blue crabs. We often caught them from a rowboat with a crab net. One would have to be very fast because they were fast swimming crustaceans. The creek bottom was plentiful with hard clams, or "Quohogs" which you could easily pick up if walking: These, however, we seldom ate, as the water in Sterling Creek was thought to be polluted. Along the shore were many mussels but we thought they were not for human con- sumption. There were a great many fiddler crabs which we did use as bait when blackfishing. I remember a great many of the people who lived on the beach when I first came and will try, to the best of my ability, to mention the names of a few, and to describe them for the reader's edification. Others, however, I have now forgotten. I was a small child at that time. Some things stand out in my memory but others I seem to forget as I grow older. I feel that it would be better, before I tell about the people to relate how the beach people acquired title to the land. After that .I shall proceed along the beach to tell you of• the occu- pants of the cottages. I can not definitely recall what year it was, but probably around the the 1930s when Henry Newell Young, who had been the owner of the entire beach, passed away. He died without leaving a Will and he had left many relatives and descendants, whose names and shares of his estate could not be easily determined. It was deemed necessary by the family to bring what is known as a "Partition Action" to determine the value of his real estate, and to determine who was entitled to share it. That action was brought in the Supreme Court of Suffolk County and was entitled "Young" vs. "Young". In that action his real property was divided into several parcels. One of those parcels contained the entire of his property which fronted on the harbor, known as Sandy Beach. All of his real property was sold under the direction of the court at public auction. There were two sales of the parcel contain- ing the Sandy Beach frontage. At the first sale that parcel had been purchased, among other parcels, by Herbert Fordham or his wife, Inez Fordham, who already owned the land near the breakwater. After the first sale, however, Mr. Fordham discovered that James Allen, 18 and my Grandfather, Granville Yeaton, and Orange Griffin, all had leases. Mr. Fordham had wanted immediate possession but because of the leases he could not get it. He then refused to complete the purchase. The court, therefore, directed a resale of those parcels. The people who resided on the beach and were interested got together and raised sufficient funds to purchase the beach parcel at the second auction sale. They also formed a corporation known as "The Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, N.Y. Inc." An attorney in New York City represented the corporation. A meeting of those interested persons was then held at which the following decisions were made to be effective if the corporation purchased the land: 1. That the land on Sandy Beach could be purchased by anyone, but present cottage owners at that time were to receive preference. 2. If the present property owner had not purchased the land upon which a cottage stood, any other resident of the beach might purchase that land, and if, the owner had not moved the building, that building should be considered as demol- ished and the purchaser of land might exchange the cottage owned by him for the one on the land he had purchased at no additional cost or expense to the purchaser. After the beach residents had purchased what land they desired, all additional cottages were to be torn down and the vacant land could then be sold by the corporation. They then elected the following persons to be the corporate officers: Rev. George Stuart, Mr. Joseph Schmidt, Mr. Granville G. Yeaton, Mr. Samuel Schenck. The elected officers then were designated to sell all vacant lots as soon as practicable and to determine prices. At the auction the corporation purchased the whole of Sandy Beach for $13,400. The officers then began to sell the real estate and to improve the beach. The officials of the Village of Greenport and the persons in charge of village utilities etc. all cooperated heartily with the association officers. The corporation officers arranged for a private right of way along the back of the cottages 30 feet wide, on the line of one of the parcels designated in the aforesaid partition action. Through the New York City attorney they also established bulkhead and pierhead lines along the harbor frontage of the beach. The corporate officers then obtained bids, and had a bulkhead erected by Ralph Preston. This was at the time of W.P.A. and with the assistance of the village officials their help was obtained to have water mains brought to the beach. The right of ways was also blacktopped. The corporate officers had a great deal of difficulty in obtaining the consent of some of the beach residents to the erection of poles for the bringing of electricity. Some believed that poles along Sandy 19 Beach would be a great eyesore. Finally, after much consultation between the corporate officers, the village people, those in charge of utilities of the village and Mr. Fordham, the electricity was brought to the beach and the poles erected. I am not sure however, whether the poles were placed on land purchased by Mr. Fordham at the auction, or whether they were on land purchased by the corporation. It was my understanding that Herbert Fordham had granted to the village a ten foot right of way over his land just adjacent to the beach right of way for access to the beach property at the "point" at the western end of Sandy Beach. A few years after, in the year 1938 a very severe hurricane hit Sandy Beach. the tide rose, covering the floors of many cottages. Hurricane force winds blew. Boats were wrecked. Several cottages were demolished and leveled to the ground. Debris was everywhere. Parts of both cottages and boats were thrown up onto the sand and littered. the entire shoreline. The bungalows which had belonged to the Pells, the Coyles and Dr. George C. Fort were no more. I found the front porch of my cottage the "Elsa-Laura" in the farm across Sterling Creek from the beach. It was the greatest disaster to have hit the beach up until that time. Now, I believe it is the time to mention some of the people and the resident on Sandy Beach. I realize that I must be brief. I shall probably omit some who should be named. I can not attempt to tell about all of the beach residents, nor of their idiosyncrasies. My memory of the inhabitants of the beach had faded with the years that have passed. I ask the reader's forgiveness if I omit anyone. I shall begin at the most westerly end of the beach and proceed east- ward. The most westerly cottage at that time was owned by the Pell family. They resided in the Village of Greenport. They usually came to the beach just to spend a day or for a swim, but in the event some beach resident had overnight guests who they could not accommodate the Pell family would rent their cottage. That cottage was demolished com- pletely in the 1938 hurricane. The next cottage belonged to the Coyle family. They too were Greenport folks. Mr. Coyle was employed at the Long Island Railroad Station as an express man. He and his wife, and their children Mary and Frank Coyle would spend most of each season at the beach. They were very well liked by the beach people. Mr. and Mrs. Coyle are now deceased but both Mary and Frank still reside in Greenport. Their cottage was also demolished in the hurricane. The land was then purchased by George Stewart and his family who built a new bungalow on the land where Coyles bungalow had stood, and used the land where Pells bungalow had stood. The Steward family occupy that bungalow. Margaret, Helen and Roberta were all brought up there. Margaret later married Milton Bayne and she had since died. Helen became Mrs. Robert Rivel and Roberta, whom we all call "Bobbie" is now Mr. Ernest Painter. For many years, since the death of Margaret, the Painter family and Margaret's husband, Milton Bayne, have been the summer 20 occupants. The Painter family have also brought up their family there, in the summer months. Their children, Marilyn Painter Raines and Barbara Painter, Morgan, are well known and well liked by all. ` It is back of this cottage that people usually make the turn at the western end of Sandy Beach right of way. In my early days as a, beach tesident, Captain John Barr, who had been a well known, yachting cap n owned the next cottage. I believe he was the captain of the yacht "Enterprise" and had won the "Kings Cup" race to Spain with it. He always came to Greenport to have any necessary work done in a Greenport ship yard. He and his family were Greenport residents and spent their summers on Sandy Beach. His wife, and daughters Edna and Catherine would, come early in the season bringing with them his wife's sister "Auntie Ree"' and her daughter Adelaide. They were all loved by the beach people, especially "Auntie Ree", whose real name was Marie Preston and who, for years, was a great favorite of the children along the beach. She would get all of the children together, put up a picnic lunch, and take them for a hike to the Long Island Sound shore at what we called the 67 steps, stop- ping en route to fill jugs with pump water. Captain Barr's cottage later became part of the Stoothoff cottage. William Stoothoff and his wife Jennie came early to the beach, bring- ing with them their two daughters, Catherine and Alcesta. They (the daughters) are still the occupants of that cottage. Catherine raised a family on the beach, some of whom have subsequently become property owners. She had three boys, P. David Bradshaw, Powell Bradshaw, and Peter Bradshaw. All of the boys have been very popular on the beach, and all are excellent boatsmen, swimmers, and beach lovers. One can often see the catamaran belonging to "David" passing along Greenport Harbor with its bright and colorful sails. Donald Allen, who was one of the sons of James Allen, purchased what had originally been a scallop shack next to the Stoothoff bungalow. He and his wife, Eleanor (Min) occupied it for many years. He brought up his children, Donald, Doris and Marie there. I do not recall the' exact year of his purchase. Donald Allen was known to many as "Uncle Don". All of the children have married. Donald's wife is Margaret, Doris has married twice, her first husband was "Bob" Cornelius. She is now Mrs. Joseph M. Thomas, and Marie, who is a real Sandy Beacher had become Mrs.� William Holmes. "Uncle Don" has died, and, the three children now own, the cottage. There used to be several cottages between what is now the Allen cottage and the cottage I formerly owned called "Split the Wind". ONe was known as "The Freckle" owned by Dr. McGuiness, another was oc- cupied by a 'man whose name I don't ever recall hearing but whom the children all called "Uncle John", another was the "Brooklyn" which I will say more about later, and the Rodger's family cottage. All except the "Brooklyn" had been scallop shacks. "Uncle John" was, we suspected, a spy during World War I, though no one was ever able to prove that theory. He was beloved by all of the beach children, and would sit for hours at a time telling them stories. 21 The Rodger's cottage had originally been a scallop shack, but had been converted into a very comfortable and livable summer cottage. Mr. Rodgers we, most of us, called "Uncle Ben". He ran the; "Preston's Ship Chandlery" store at the foot of Main Street in Greenport. For many years he, with his wife, Nell, and their children Doris, Sue and Alice, lived on the beach. The entire family were all very, much liked among the beach inhabitants. Doris died as a young person, Sue may still be seen at times around Greenport. She married Bob Wadell. They often rent summer places near, or in, Greenport. Alice became Mrs. Frank Brooks. She resides on Main Street, Greenport, and is employed by a local funeral home there. During my younger days as a beach resident there was a cottage called "The Brooklyn" next to our "Split the Wind". It was owned by the Morris, or Appelt family who all lived on Central Avenue,, Greenport. Mr. and Mrs. Morris seldom came to Sandy Beach but we would often see Norma, or Florence Appelt or the two boys John, and another whom we called "Buzz". They all still reside in the Greenport, or Eastern Long Island area. John later became President of the Eastern Long Island Hospital. . My grandparents, Eliza and Granville Yeaton had purchased two build- ings around 1912. One was the "Boola-Boola" when they purchased it but they changed the name to "Elsa-Laura". The most-western of the two was next to the "Brooklyn" owned by my grandparents it was always rented. One tenant occupied it for several seasons. They were the family of Dr. Frank Quackenbush, a 'Northport, Long Island dentist. He, his wife and a daughter named Cynthea came for several years. They always brought with them a negro gentleman who they employed. That family was greatly admired by the beach folk. Mrs. Quackenbush often would make large freezers of home made ice cream and invite all to come to share it with them. Another regular tenant is that cottage was the Valentine T. Ketcham family. Mr. Ketcham was a Brooklyn Real Estate Broker. He had a wife and two daughters, one named Alice. They also were well liked. After my grandfather had died, my father Lester L. Clerke, purchased the "Split the Wind". , He enlarged it, pushing out the eastern wall and building onto it, then built a new front porch with picture windows, adding a bathroom and an extra bedroom. For a number of years thereafter my parents, Laura and Lester L. Clerke and I lived in that cottage. I later inherited it from them. The "Brooklyn" had a that time been moved to nearer the center of the beach. I shall tell more about that later. All of the scallop shacks had been torn down by the corporation, so that there wasL a fairly large, plot of vacant land between the "Split the Wind" and the cottage Donald Allen had purchased. I bought that land-and had a dock erected in 1956. That dock was for years the place were most of the swimmers on that end of the beach, would congregate. About 1963 Edward Fall and his wife, Helen, purchased that bungalow and for a time resided there. "Ed" later was divorced and remarried. His second wife is Louise Fall. Ed Fall has had several boats which he kept at a dock he built after the Sterling Creek was deepened which 22 I will now tell you about. His bungalow has now, I understand been turned over to two of his sons, Fred Fall and Jeff Fall. Around 1955 to 1960 during the winter or early spring moths, when all of the Sandy Beach cottages had been closed for that season and the city people, including me, had returned to their homes I remember having received a telephone call from one of my beach neighbors which made me very angry in which he informed me that Sterling Creek had been dredged, that the County dredge was still working, and that the fill was being dumped on both his land and mine along the land back of our right of way. Neither of us had given our consent. My anger increased as I realized that just a short time before we had, with other beach owners, arranged through Henry Tasker [a Greenport lawyer, later to become a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York] to purchase all of the Sterling Creek frontage in back of our respective cottages and that the deeds not only conveyed all of the land but also the land under water which had been granted to Mr. Fordham by the State of New York, and all were highly restricted as to the use we could put them to. Most of those restrictions I thought to have been violated by the work of the dredge. I immediately went to the beach and found the facts just as related to me. It appeared that the Village had granted the right to dump on the village property near the point. The dredge however, continued along the back of the beach on our private land until they were stopped by Henry Tasker. When I discovered it, however it was done, and there was nothing I could do then. When I returned that spring, however, I fenced what had been dumped on my land and claimed ownership thereof. It was covered by Mr. Fordham's deed and the one subsequently given me by Mr. Tasker. While the fence was being built a representative of the village, whom I did not know, came to check the location of the fence to be sure that I had not built on the village 10 foot right of way. The cottage next east of that one was the original cottage to which my grandparents had taken their six grandchildren. The Schoonmaker family had arrived in 1911 but "Bickie" Yeaton and I first arrived to spend the 1912 summer. I think I have already told that it was originally known as "Boola-Boola" but its name had been changed to the "Elsa-Laura". My grandparents had purchased the two bungalows but not the land, with two rowboats and all of the furnishings for $200.00 George, James, Elsie and Granville (Min) Schoonmaker, Elizabeth ("Bickie") Yeaton and my Grandparents Granville and Eliza Yeaton, and I comprised the family for many summers. My grandparents were very loving and wonderful people. They gave all of their grandchildren great affection. They required, however, that each grandchild take over his or her share of the daily chores. One grandchild would have to go to the pump for water, another to meet the ice man and get a cake of ice, another to do the daily shopping, another the housecleaning, etc. Daily the chore would be changed so that no child had the same chore to do the following day. They were very permissive and gave each about anything the child wanted that my 23 grandparents could afford. Grandpa always took the children, or some- of them, when he went fishing or clamming. We had a very wonderful existance. Grandma would allow us to wax the floors and hold dances. Many of the boys from Greenport would come bringing with them their "dates" or getting "dates" among the girls on the beach. The young boys on the beach did likewise. In later years, after my grandfather died, my grandmother rented the "Elsa Laura" to William (Bill) Lowthian who later built his own cottage on the beach. The Lowthian family occupied the bungalow for many years when both of their children, Dorothy and Bob, were very young. At that time the Arthur Lowthian family used the cottage jointly with the William Lowthian family. Donald and Joyce, their children, were part of the same group. I inherited that cottage from my grandmother. Carolyn H. Pope, who had been my office secretary for many years asked if she and her husband might buy the cottage from me. They did. Its name was changed to the "Al-Lynn" after its new owners Albert Pope and Carolyn H. Pope. They occupied it until after both of them had retired from their respective businesses and had moved to their permanent retire- ment home in Sarasota, Florida. They had many friends who use to visit them, sometimes in great numbers. That bungalow was sold to Dr. Shengold and his wife, Paula. Shengolds own and operate a very nice power boat in which they may be seen with their friends sailing about Greenport Harbour, Gardiner's Bay and as far as the Long Island Sound. Dr. Shengold is a dentist maintaining his office in Commack, Long Island. Around the year 1912 when I first arrived at Sandy Beach, the James Allen family were already established as permanent beach residents. The family was a large one. Ruby, Agnes, Donald, Amy, Alfred, Avis. At that time I can not remember Ruby or Donald being on the beach with their parents. Ruby I think had already married Wilmerding Moore, and Donald was working in the area around New York City. There were Mr. and Mrs. Allen, Agnes, Amy, Alfred, and Avis. Both Alfred and Avis were deaf mutes. I remember Mrs. Allen as she would try to teach Alfred and Avis to enunciate words. We could hear her say a word and then hear them endeavor to say the same word. Mr. Allen had owned a Mill near where the Mill Creek Inn now stands. After both parents had died the house was taken over by Agnes, then upon her death by Avis. It is now owned by one of Donald Allen's children, Marie who married William (Bill) Holmes. Everyone who knows either the Allens or the Holmes family consider them assets to the beach. Holmes' own a small launch in which they, or members of that family and their friends can often be seen around Greenport Harbor or Gardner's Bay. My uncle, Granville, G. Yeaton purchased the Hardy scallop shack and converted it into his beach cottage. For several years he and his wife, "Bess" lived in it. His daughter, who was living in our cot- tage, moved to be with her parents. We used to call his wife, "Doctor Dippy" because she always nursed the aches and pain of any of the children. If one had a run a rusty nail into his foot, or had a "tummy-ache" or any kind of physical problem "Dr. Dippy" would nurse 24 it back to health again. That shack was, torn down and the land divided between the Allen Family and my uncle. He exchanged the building for the Payne cottage, which formerly stood next to it. During my earliest years on the beach Captain Payne and his wife, and her sister Mrs. Ingersall occupied the Payne cottage. They lived in Northport, Long Island. They had one daughter, Jesse Payne who later marrried a Jamaica lawyer named William McLaughlin. He was the captain of the "J. Lloyd Hawkridge", a large sailing schooner which carried cargo to all points along the Long Island and Connecticut shore. Sometimes even to Boston, or the Massachusetts ports. The Hawkridge had no power. It was only sailed. When the wind did not blow Captain Payne could tow the big schooner with a small power launch which was usually carried on the stern deck. Almost every season he use to invite all of the beach residents to spend a day aboard. All would pack picnic lunches and all enjoyed the day great- ly. I can remember one such day when the wind did not blow. We left from the foot of Main Street in Greenport, then drifted all day. By late that aftersioon we had gotten only to near the lighthouse near Long Beach, Gardner's Bay and the launch had to tow us back. After my uncle had died that cottage was purchased by Powell Bradshaw. It was later purchased by Paul Lieblich who with his wife occupied it until she was killed in an automobile accident. Paul then remarried. The bungalow is presently owned by him and his wife Paula. The next cottage to the east had been one of the early beach cottages. ' I can not recall its earliest owner. About the first I recall was the Gardner family who owned a small cabin cruiser called the "Polly" which was always anchored in the bay, in front of the cottage. I remember several boys, Jesse, Doug, and another boy whose name I do not recall. "Doug" married Althea Biggs, who had been a Sandy Beach girl. As I recall he later ran a newspaper in Sag Harbor. Althea later divorced him. She was for many years employed in the Greenport school. That cottage soon after became the summer place of Elsie Hawkins, a Jamaica New York school teacher. She was a wonderful woman and an excellent teacher. She happened to be my teacher and the teacher of several other Sandy Beach residents when we were in the younger grades of grammar school. She used to have other teachers from the same public school, as her guests, for weeks at a time. She later married and lived in Greenport where she finally died. Before Elise Hawkins died she sold her cottage to Henry Tasker and his wife, Mall. They had two children, Arthur and John. The boys were both brought up as beach residents. Mall died in 1977. Henry had by that time retired as a Supreme Court Justice of the State of New York and had moved to Florida where he remarried. Henry's and Mall's sons have become the owners of that cottage. They come to the beach either together or separately with their friends and usually have this as their summer home. Here I must ask you to turn back a few pages to the time of the filling of the Sterling Creek, and the creek being dredged. He had stopped that dredging back of his cottage. Sterling Creek after that time was always called "Sterling Basin" and was a waterway much deeper than before. The Pierce Boat Yard was built on it. Sterling Basin accommodate many of the beach people's boats and many that came from other ports throughout Long Island, Connecticut, and various states. 25 There were four cottages which had, in the early days, been connected together by their front porches. There were the Manning and three Johnson family cottages. All were people who lived near Metuchen, New Jersey. In the Manning cottage were Mr. and Mrs. Manning and a daughter Lucille. She later married John Appelt, who later became the President of the Eastern Long Island Hospital. John and Lucille just prior to their marriage built a schooner yacht, they named the "Windsong" which plied the waters of the eastern Long Island area for many years. Mannings owned a launch called the "Sally B". It was anchored off the Sandy Beach cottage for year's. The Johnson family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Almeda, Dorothy, Muriel and Betty. They usually were accompanied by a lady who did their cooking. They also had a launch which was named the "Biff". At that time there were many small boats anchored off the beach. There were the "Sally B" the "Biff" the "Theordora", the "Leisure", the "Slacker" and others. Most belonged to or were captained by beach folk. The Jesse Ketcham family were very early beach settlers. Mr. Ketcham was a Brooklyn, N.Y. real estate operator and was a son of the owner and operator of a boatyard on Sterling Creek, later Sterling Basin. I knew his father only as "Grandpa Ketcham". The wife of Jesse Ketcham was Lena Ketcham. They had two children Benjamin (Ben) and Elsie. I played with both as children and still consider them very good friends. Both children married. Ben and his wife are still Greenport residents. Elsie married Casper Drosihn. She and her husband pur- chased the former Manning cottage. "Grandpa" Ketcham was never a beach resident, but because his family were on the beach, he was well known by all. In his boatyard he rented Cat Boats which were known to all at "Ketcham's Cats". As a very young person I recall going with Ben to deliver a boat to whosoever "Grandpa" had rented it. I also recall being invited on picnics with the Ketcham family in a "Ketcham Cat Boat". Elsie and her husband, Cass were both Brooklyn, New York school teachers. During the later part of her life Lena Ketcham lived with them and always came to Sandy Beach with them for the summer. Elsie is quite an artist. "Cass" makes models from wood which he sometimes gives to friends. All of that family have always been greatly loved and admired by the beach people. One of the Johnson cottages later became the Schenck cottage. The Schenck family played an important role in the early years of the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, N. Y. , Inc. The cottage was originally owned by the senior member of that family. A son, Samuel took it over after the father died and all of the children have continued to use and occupy the bungalow, most for a week or two at a time. There is always a member of the family or a friend there but all are typical "Sandy Beach" type folk. In my earliest days Mr. Orange Griffin, who was the agent of Henry Newell Young whom we could contact if we had beach business and Mr. Young could not be found, occupied a very nice bungalow on the beach. 26 He was a Greenport man. He;,was the_ only person to whom Mr. Young would grant a five year Pease of the land and was highly trusted and respected both by Mr. Young and the beach people. He came yearly with his housekeeper, Mrs. Sarles, and her son Merrit Sarles, whom we called "Snarlsie". Mr.' Griffin always wanted "Snarlsie" to sleep at night aboard Mr. Griffins sail boat, the "Theodora" but as "Snarlsie" felt timid about sleeping there alone, either my cousin "Ming" or I slept there with him. One sleeping each side of the centerboard in the cabin. I think you will recall that William Lowthian and his wife Lois and their two children, "Bobby" and Dorothy had been tenants in the "Elsa-Laura": After the Sandy Beach Association had been formed they purchased some of the land which had become vacant and built a new cottage thereon which they occupied for many years. Everyone on the 1 beach was very fond of both Lois and Bill. Their son "Bobbie" died and later "Bill" did too. Lois moved to Florida and lives with her daughter, Dorothy who, by that time had become Mrs. Conn McCreary, the wife of a jockey of some fame. Their beach home was sold to William (Bill) and Dorothy Muller, who now spend their summer months at Sandy Beach. They are both great golf enthusiasts and I believe that the proximity of Island's End Golf Course to the beach has had a great effect upon their love for the beach. Another parcel of the then vacant land was purchased by the Rayner family, upon which they erected a cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Rayner were Greenport people. - They, came -to the beach with their daughter, and Choisey and Mervin. I can, recall what an excellent cook Mrs. Rayner was. The facilities in that cottage were limited but she was always able to produce an excellent meal. Both boys remained for many years as well liked beach residents. Choisey moved to Florida. Mervin became an executive of the Con Edision Company and after his wife died he moved to Southold, Long Island with his son. Their daughter is a very active member of the Greenport Methodist Church and can often be seen around the village. The bungalow was sold by the Rayner Family to Marjorie Burns, a "real estate operator who resides in Southold, N.Y. She usually rents the bungalow in the summer. One parcel of the vacant land which the corporation had owned was purchased by Mr. Lord, who had not built upon it. That land was bought from him by, Harold (Chip) and Kathryn Bird. They built a new cottage thereon of the cantilever type. It was raised quite high off the sand. The Bird family quickly became one of the favorite beach families. They had no offspring, both resided on the beach until they had retired from business. Mrs. Bird had been the associate registrar of Queens College and Mr. Bird was an officer of the, Chase Manhattan Bank, in charge of their Whitestone Office. After their retirement they moved to the Cape Canaveral, Florida area and that cottage was sold to the Sweeney family. Another parcel of what had been vacant land -was purchased by Jack and Janet Adams. They bought a "Pre-Fab" cottage and had it placed on their lot. Sandy Beach people always consider the bulkhead side of the building as the front. The person who delivered their building, 27 ' I f however, thought the front of the building should face the road. The day after the house was delivered they therefore came with a large crane, lifted the entire cottage into the air, turned it around, and replaced it so that the front would face the bulkhead. The Adams lived in that cottage with their son Doug and daughter Grace. Jack and Janet were divorced and Janet later remarried. Her new husband is William (Bill) Arnott. Janet and Bill are very well liked on the beach. They have a small power boat and can often be seen riding around Greenport Harbor in it. In my early days on the beach, east of where the Arnott cottage now stands, there was a building with a tower on one side called the "City Hall". It was owned by the Shipman family and wa's near where the boardwalk from the parking lot to the beach had been built. "Grandma" Shipman used to sit and rock in a rocking chair back of that cottage. She was a grand old lady. We always looked for her back of the "City Hall". Usually she would greet anyone who crossed the boardwalk to come onto the beach. ""Grandma's" son was Monroe Biggs. There were several children in that family among whom were "Billie" Biggs, Althea Biggs, Muriel (Memmie) Biggs, Bobby Biggs and Shipman. - Most of ,them, if still alive remain in the -Greenport area. Bobby was for years the head of the meat department of the Greenport A&P store and I think is now employed by the Village of Greenport. As I have previously stated the cottage "Brooklyn" had been, in my early days, next to the "Split the Wind". Mr. Franklyn Price and his son "Cow" had occupied it. "Cow" was a good friend of mine. He had a small boat in which we sailed about Greenport Harbor a great deal. "Cow" died early in life. The "Brooklyn" was later occupied by Irving L. Price, Sr. and his family, Wm. (Bill) and Irving L. Price, Jr. with their families. The "Brooklyn" was moved from where it had formerly stood to a lot which was then vacant nearer the central part of the beach. All of the members of that family are, and always have been, very well known and well respected business people in and about Greenport. Bill is now a well established insurance man. Irving L. Price, Jr. is a Greenport attorney and a former State Assymblyman. He is also Chairman of the Board of a local bank. When I first came on the beach around 1912 Joseph Schmidt and his wife Vivian were owners of a small cottage which he usually rented. It is where my grandparents first visited William L. Jarvis and his wife. Joe and Vivian sold this bungalow years ago. I can not now recall all of the owners. I was one. Others included Evvie and Madjeska Groene, Henry (Hank) Pagani, a Mr. Cellar, whose first name I do not recall, Kenneth Baylis and I think there were others. That property was later sold to Herbert (Bud) Pope and his wife, Helen, who with their chil- dren Dennis and Nancy have occupied it for many years. Dennis seldom stays' there for any great length of time. Nancy is a school teacher and spends much of her vacation time there with her parents. Wilmerding Moore and his wife, "Ruby", who was daughter of James Allen built the next cottage. Wilmerding is deceased for several years and "Ruby" has been in a nursing home in Brooklyn, N.Y. for several years. Their cottage was purchased by Richard (Dick) Edwards and his wife, 28 I from Freeport N.Y. who 'ave been its occupants for several years. This cottage stands, as I recall, on the land where the George C. Fort's cottage had been before, it was destroyed in the 1938 hurricane. That land had been vacant throughout several years, until the Moore family purchased the land. "Dick" Edwards has been very active in the affairs of the beach association and 'has served as its president. He has assisted all, by helping with the roadway, with signs, etc. and served wherever he could to help the beach folks. Mrs. Norma Helmer was the owner of the "Waukeshau" when I firstl arrived on Sandy Beach. I believe, but am not sure, that she had been a' daughter, or a relative of Orange Griffin and that "Busie" Travis had been a member of the same family.- As long as I can remember her cottage was rented. I recall a British couple, Mr. and Mrs. Schilling, having had it for several years. Norma used to drive to Greenport with her car and chauffeur. Her chauffeur would spend the day fishing, then return for her toward evening. She always came to clean the house and have it ready for her tenants. She did ' the same thing for many years. Sometimes, "Jack" p( Sherwood, an old friend of hers would come over to ,the beach from his home in Greenport to assist her. There was a Travis boy, "Busy" we called him. When my grandparents were alive Grandma always suspected, but never could prove, that he had stolen the tops of the oil cans which were sitting at the back doors of the cottages all along the beach. Of course there were many oil cans„;because everyone had to use kerosene for both lighting and cooking. However, early in the morning the beach people would find the tops of the oil .cans had disappeared. This .cottage was later purchased by ,-Neal Richards and Richard Goldie who still occupy it. Captain Reeves was the Captain of the "Leisure", a very well kept sailboat which was always out in front of his cottage. He occupied a cottage later sold to Rev. George Stuart and his wife "Maisie". George was the pastor of a Westchester County church and as I recall he was the first President of the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, N.Y. , Inc. He was extremely instrumental in the purchase of the beach from the Henry Newell Young estate in the partition action. Most beach folk referred to his as just "The Rev.". His son, Weston, Weston's wife "Lolly" and a lady who kept house for them had occupied the "Waukeshaw" as tenants for years, as that cottage is on adjoining land to that of - "The Rev. and Maisie" They also had a daughter, Helen who married "Al” Bittner. After "Maisie" died the Bittner and Weston Stewart families lived together in cottage that had belonged to "The Rev. and Maisie".' It was sold by them to the Pollard family of Connecticut and later to Dr. Buckley who is a Nassau County, N.Y. physician. During my early years on the beach, the next cottage was occupied by Miss. Clara Craig. She occupied it until the time of her death. She had two nephews who looked after her, Robert,' and Donald Craig. She was a very active and agile lady. She sailed a sailing canoe' until she had become very elderly. When she died her cottage passed to one of her nephews, Dr. Robert Craig, of Ashville, N. C. Dr. Craig 29 usually rents the bungalow, though he comes to the beach each spring to get the cottage ready for his tenants and again in the fall to close it after the season is over. He, therefore, has never been a stranger to beach people. Most of his tenants return year after year. In about the -year 1911 or 1912, when I first arrived at Sandy Beach, Joseph Schmidt and his wife, Vivian Schmidt were already there. They had a daughter, Vivian, who was also a child on the beach. Joe was the captain of a yacht which for many years had been kept in Dering Harbor, Shelter Island. It was necessary that he row there every day. It was an extremely well kept boat of which he was justly proud. He was also one of the very active residents of Sandy Beach and was one of the organizers of the "Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, N.Y. , Inc." As Joe became older it was always very interesting to hear of his stories of boating in the olden days,- and his various experiences. His cottage later became the property of his grandson, Chris Noble, who is a lawyer in the state of Massachusetts. The most easterly cottages on the property which Henry Newell Young had owned which faced Greenport Harbor were, both owned by different members .of same family, the Corwin, Mowen, and McKeons. They were Greenport families and had a large home on Central Avenue, Greenport. At the time I 'arrived on the beach I remember that Ruth and Jean Mowen were' young girls and occupied the cottage next to the Schmidts, I presume with their parents. The last cottage facing'Greenport Harbor on the former Young land was occupied by Isabella McKeon. She died after a few years and the cottage was taken over by James (Jimmy) Corwin, a school teacher who taught in Riverhead. He and his wife and their children occupied it for many years. His wife passed away but Jimmy and his family still occupy it. The house which the Mowen family occupied became the Wachenfeld cottage. Many years later I had decided that I would like a place where I might garage my car. By that time both Herbert Fordham and his wife Inez had died and their real estate had passed to their heirs. At the time of their deaths they had still been the owners of what had been the swampland back of the beach. That swampland had been filled in. It was, at that time, full of overgrowth, weed and bushes of all kinds. There was poison ivy, poison Sumac and a scattering of wild flowers. I contacted the then owner of the land and made arrangements to purchase it. I created a two car garage and bedroom on the lower floor and living quarters upstairs. This place I occupied for several years, but I was concerned that no water rights were owned with it. I then bought the cottage the Herbert Pope family now owns to get those rights. Later .after I had acquired the Abruzzo property I granted beach rights for swimming to the owner of the "Triangle". I sold the "Triangle" to Joseph and Elsie Thiel. Elsie had been around Sandy Beach for a great number of years. Her .parents had rented the "Brooklyn" with the others 'in my very early days on the beach. Joe and Elsie had become good friends. As I have already stated the cottage which became Jimmy Corwin's is the 'farthest cottage east on the land that had originally belonged to 30 Henry Newell Young. A fence still exists which separated the Young farm from the Fordham property. Mrs. Lawton, who was also one of the Mowen, McKeon, Corwin family came to live on Sandy Beach around the 1920s. Her daughter lived with her for many years until Mrs. Lawton's death. They had purchased what was once the salt-hay barn which had belonged to Herbert Fordham and the property upon which it stood, and converted it in to a very fine cottage. The daughter, Isabella Lawton married Sidney Smith a few years after her mother's death. She and her husband continued to live in it until Mr. Smith's death. For the last few years a friend, Doris Oliver has lived in the cottage with Mrs. Smith every summer. During the days when Herbert Fordham was still alive, I think around the year 1927 or 1928, George Schoonmaker and his wife Beuelah (better known as Bea) purchased all of the land between what had been pur- chased by the Lawton family and Gardner's Bay, from the Fordhams, together with all of the rights to land under water which Mr. Fordham had obtained from the State in front of that land. That purchase included a small cottage which Mr. Fordham and his wife had used as a bath house. That cottage was used as a summer cottage for Mr. Schoonmaker's mother Elsie Schoonmaker, for many years. Most of the residents of Sandy Beach always called her "Aunt Elsie". George and "Bea" Schoonmaker sold a part of the land he had purchased lying between the Lawton cottage and the one his mother had been occupying in about 1947 to Norman W. (Jack) Andrews who built a cottage on the land. For many years thereafter Jack and his wife, Evelyn and their two twin sons Richard and David occupied that cot- tage. Both of those boys were excellent swimmers and sailors. They owned sail boats and small power boats. One of them attended the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut and the other the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Both have become high ranking officers in their respective services. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida where "Jack" was employed at Cape Canaveral by the Grumman Corporation and was instrumental in the safety of putting the first men on the moon. Mrs. Andrews was em- ployed at the Baldwin L.I. High School. They are now retired from business and maintain a condominium apartment at Cocoa Beach, Florida. The Andrews family sold their cottage to P. David Bradshaw. He is a son of Catherine Bradshaw who lives near the westerly end of Sandy Beach. He had a wife, Barbara, and a son, Christian. Mr. Bradshaw is an excellent sailor. He usually sails a "Catamaran" and one looking across the harbor can often observe its bright colored sails going along. Just prior to my retirement from business Mr. Schoonmaker sold me the cottage his mother had been occupying because he felt that his mother was getting older and should not be left alone. I moved into it and for a few years occupied it myself. At that time Gertrude Warner, a Greenport lady, owned the land adjacent to it, facing Gardner's Bay. She had wanted a bungalow erected on her land. I arranged a sale of the bungalow where I lived, but not the land, to her and she arranged 31 to have it moved onto her land. Joseph Diaz, a Greenport builder, then erected for me a home where the Schoonmaker's bungalow had stood. I moved into it a year or two before my retirement and continued to occupy it for a number of years both as a winter and a summer home. Finally I moved to Florida and it was sold to Robert (Bob) and Jean Abruzzo. ` Bob Abruzzo was a commercial airplane flyer. All, who have known him, or his wife Jean have greatly admired them. He had a front "deck" built onto the front of the house, has planted trees and bushes. They are considered assets by the beach folks. Just prior, however, to my moving to Florida, I repurchased from Gertrude Warner the land which she owned together with the bungalow that had been moved to that land, which I took over and lived in after I sold my home to the Abruzzos. After occupying, for a second time, the cottage I had purchased from George and "Bea" Schoonmaker and sold to Gertrude Warner I finally sold that place to Bela Bako, who is a New York City resident. The Bako family still own and occupy it. Now as I am nearing the end of this account. I think of what Sandy Beach and its people have meant to me over the years. I think of the effect my grandparents decision in 1911 or 1912 has made upon my life. Many of my closest and dearest friends have been among the beach people. I also consider those many friends which I might never have made among the Greenport, Southold and Orient people. I consider the Halsey Rackett family, the Henry Clark family, the Hudson family in Greenport, the Sue Morris, the Warren Smith and Helen Smith family in Southold, and the Ken and Ruth Tabor and Captain Vails entire family of Orient. All of whom I might never have known had not my grandparents purchased on Sandy Beach. I also think of the many friendships which have been cemented and strengthened among those whom I had previously known in the city area like May Smith, Doris Sonner, Virginia Martin, Ruth and Howard Poulson and many others. I am certainly grateful to all of the folks, not only at Sandy Beach but those on Eastern Long Island. 32 Lester Y. Clerke (II) There were many scallop shacks especially on the west end of the beach and piles of shells and innards were along the creek side. There were boards so that the top of the pile could be reached with wheel barrows. Along the sides of the building were hinged boards under which the "Openers" might place barrels to contain both shells and the remains of the innards of the scallops. Much of the beach, however, had no such thing. The eastern end, or "Fifth Ave." end, as we called it was where the Greenport people used to go for a swim or picnic. The houses at first were for them to change closthes or fix food for the picnic. Then, on hot nights usually, they began spending the night so as to keep cool. Gradually they stayed longer and longer. The places were furnished sufficiently so that the one night turned into a week or two. The places began to be occupied as summer cottages and "Sandy Beach" as a summer colony came into being. Of course the bunglows were on land they could not buy. It was owned by Henry Newell Young, who, I think, lived on the north road in Greenport. He ran a farm. There were no roads, water nor electricity. The people built "outhouses" of various shapes, sizes and colors some with tops that lifted for ventilation, others with a half moon shaped hole for ventilation. You could arrive two ways. First row from Greenport or second, drive but there was a walk and you had to get over the swamp which was where the "Triangle' house was later built. There was a boardwalk. raised about a foot off the ground so that you would not get your feet wet. We carried water in pails from a pump located in the woods. Most people lived on what they themselves obtained. When we came (and my grandparents brought 6 grandchildren for the entire summer recess from school) in 1912 there were a number of families who came and went. Most were Greenport folks and many stayed for the whole season, or spent a vacation at the beach we saw them daily because they all had to row to Greenport for milk, groceries, oil and to meet the ice man at either the ship yard dock or the Booth house dock. A few hardy folks even went to the Bay Ave. dock. There were originally only 2 farms. Henry Newell Young and Herbert Fordham owned them. True Sandy Beach ended at the fence where the Fordham farm began, next to what is now Jimmie Corwin's house. Isabella Lawton's and any cottage nearer the breakwater were not on Snady Beach but were built on the Fordham farm. The boundary on the other end of the beach was not established until the partition action brought by the Young heirs to settle his estate were established. Those were parcels described so that the property of Young could be sold in parcels. One parcel ended at the Sandy Beach right of way and ran across the creek and up to Manhanset Avenue. .Another was from the present bulkhead line to the creek side of the right of way. The parcel from the right of way to the bay was the original one purchased by the association. The one running under the creek and to Manhasnet Avenue included the 33 creek frontage we purchased through Henry Tasker. The right of way was always 30 feet wide where the parcels joined. We also acquired through that purchase all the land under water in back of the beach. This had been granted by the State of New York to Herbert Fordham and he had the right to sell it, which he did to Henry Tasker. Then Henry later sold to the owners along Sandy Beach, by individual deeds which had to be corrected because Sandy Beach (the front or bay front) lines were not parallel and one piece of property when property lines were continued would overlap another or leave a small pie shaped piece which had not been conveyed. That was the reason Henry gave us all correction deeds. Sterling Creek was dredged during the winter of 1959 when most of the people were in the city or at some distance from Greenport. The village had permitted the town to use its end of the beach as a "spoil area" to dump the excess from the bottom of the creek. The beach owners were not notified so when the workmen with the dredge (I think it was the county dredge) started to pump none of us knew it. They pumped first on village property which they a right to do. Then continued along Sandy Beach, which they had not acquired any right to do, until Henry Tasker stopped them. This was at his property line. All of the properties at the west end of the beach acquired sand and creek bottom till it came to Taskers where they were stopped. As this was on land acquired under our deeds to the creek some of us immediately claimed full ownership. I personally fenced mine and I believe that more than-.. twenty years having elapsed my grantee (Ed Fall) now has good title to it. About the time the bulkhead was erected the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport also had a pierhead line established out from the bulkhead line 100 feet. The owners of the beach frontage have the right granted during the winter of 1933-34 by the U.S. Government to build docks in front of their property on the south line of their property. Henry Newell Young, the old man who owned the beach, came every year on Labor Day to collect the land rent for the land upon which the cottages were erected. $10.00 per house. He would then tell the residents whether or not they might keep their bungalow on his property until the next summer. There were only Orange Griffen, who took care of business matters for Mr. Young, James Allen and Granville Yeaton who would be granted leases for more than a season. Mr. Young lived in Greenport and was very friendly with those three. I think, but am not sure, that he lived on the North Road. He was very old. I believe over one hundred years. When he died he left no will. It was for that reason that the action entitled Young vs. Young was brought in the Suffolk County Supreme Court. The heirs were thereby forced to have his real property sold at public auction and the money devided to settle his estate. At that action Herbert Fordham first bid in the property. Then, because he found there were some leases and he could not get immediate posession he defaulted. It was at that time that the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport New York, Inc. was formed and the beach people, or some of them, bought the property after forming the corporation in 1932. 34 Herbert Fordham did not own the property at the Booth House end of the beach until after the sale in the partition action. He acquired some of the parcels under that action if I am not mistaken, the purchase of which he completed. Otherwise he had no interest in the beach property to the south of the beach right of way or to the west of the property which the Sandy Beach Property owners acquired. I never belived that Mr. Fordham owned any of the western end of the beach. I always heard that it was owned by the village. Before there was any dredging I had heard that the tip where the ferry from the Booth House landed was owned by a Mr. Cassidy but I later heard that that was sold for taxes and acquired by the village so that they owned it all. The thirty foot right of way was established when the Sandy Beach Association of Greenport, N.Y. was formed in 1932. It was fixed by that association and was described in each of the original deeds to the property owners. The restrictions were also in those original deeds and came to the new owners when they acquired title. These restrictions run with the land. The ten foot right of way was established in order that the village could get to their property on the point. Rights of way for water pipes were I thought only incidental. They might have been on the parcel of land back on the creek side of the right of way for the road. Mr. Fordham had acquired that property under his purchase in the action of Young vs. Young. That property was that later conveyed to Henry Tasker and later bought by the beach folks from him in- 1950. I believe also that the water lines were constructed under a W.P.A. grant. I thought the government had paid for them. When there was a question as to the sale of the Point property by the village I think they had said it might be used in the future as a bathing beach for village residents, so they would not sell. 35 PUBLIC WORKS Bulkhead, Breakwater and Road Bulkhead As mentioned earlier, the bulkhead was built during the winter of 1933-34 by Ralph T. Preston. Cost for the bulkhead and the sand fill behind it were paid for proportionally by each property owner. The specification for the bulkhead construction were as follows: "A creosoted bulkhead, with 6" X 6" stringers top and bottom; planking to be 2" X 10" with at least 5' of penetration; the piling to have 7' of penetration; the piles to be 10" diameter at the butt. All timber, piles, and planking to be sound Southern Pine, creosote at 16 lbs. of oil to the cubic foot of wood. Piles to be placed on 8' centers, each pile to be anchored with a 16' long, 3/4" diameter tie rod to an oak tie pile (deadman) ; stringers and piles to be bolted with 3/4 inch machine bolts; 60d galvanized nails to be used in the planking. Fill was to be pumped level to the bulkhead which is approximately two and one half feet above average high water. Details of the financial arrangements for the construction of the bulkhead are shown in the report to the board of directors for the year 1932-33 which follows later. Repairs to the bulkhead over the years have consisted of replacement of tie rods in 1954; stringers in 1959; loose sheathing in 1966; incomplete work on replacement of tie rods in 1976, which was subse- quently completed in 1977-78 along with a great deal of replaced sheathing. All recent repairs were done with the financial respon- sibility of each owner based on their footage. Earlier repairs had been paid by the Association, with the costs prorated to each member. It is interesting to note the progress of costs over the years. In 1956, the new tie rods were installed at a price of around $8.50 each; in 1979, John Costello offered to weld new pieces to the ends of existing tie rods for the price of $55.00 each. The costs of new sheathing and so forth escalated similarly over that period. Over the years a number of small jetties have been constructed. Because of the east-to-west littoral drift of the sand, substantial beaches have built up along side each of these in front of the bulk- head. The jetties were constructed by Granville Yeaton, Lester Clerke, Irving Price, Arnott, Ray Sweeney, Alcesta Stoothoff and Dick Edwards. The last three of these were built in 1980. Breakwater The breakwater was constructed between 1887 and 1889 by the Federal Government. It is 1500 feet long and contains 3000 tons of stone blocks. In 1940, there was a notice in the Suffolk Times that "re- pairs will be made to the breakwater which guards Greenport Harbor from easterly storms". 36 Road As described earlier, the Sandy Beach Association had a ten foot wide road constructed in 1934, despite the warning of Herbert Fordham regarding its width. Apparently the road was raised four feet or so in 1936 to cover the pipe line which the Village of Greenport had installed. Subsequently, the road has been repaired on several occasion by applications of oil and sand. In order to retain the private status of the beach road, the Asso- ciation orders it closed for one day every two years. The past several occasions, this has been handled by Jim Corwin. The road was resurfaced in 1954 at a total cost of approximately $300.00. In 1966, the road was repaired for a total cost of $684.00, In May 1973, the road was resurfaced at a total cost of $640.00; and again in 1978 for $1080. 37 I - " moo...:...,.:- � 1 _ °�'.'m"�z 2..,as� •",��a`,-r'=�-`�Y.:.:i-'_' _ '- _ � _ ..-..r�_._"-�; �-.'-t-t"�ice'' � . +�':�'.•M'kL,�,"�•e'�=`.��`'F„- «r.,T -_�✓a .�..._:.�,ra.—:�..P,A_�-k:..�sr_n;t_,""'``' I i :> 24 - Fri-- -�-`•'_---.=_�• =,ice x•'"�:'"�'� , •�:-.,�---�'-"`�,_-^.^�=`.,:err-�'_^•`� —-^�,a.�.",�"3 may„• '"""='�•-t`:-e..''._ - 5 yam""`. .,,� :tea:.. ^.�.'�r.,K-�- �""'�S•�. x •:, ''•''� '"''rte ..-� '`�"�... 7-774 -17 s,-tea _17 46, � .5.H#.,�'}�1�.'A�:*�`�:,���a� _ ,.A��r.i i• �i �j '_� �mss..- � F a - + ''✓tr.A'7 �' ,�,.y_-I— cFn r..+n,'1Y.T�iac __ — Y' ,.fry, •�� ,•d _� ,w«�6�Aad~A .r�� ����• �w>-_i_._-«tom._ .� + _ i •�J qy: � �r� _:_.�, �._ moi, }` �_•{!}— -. -+j;=YF?�-/ _ _ _ \ ^'ls.

The original by-laws of the corporation follow here. Although I can find no record of it, apparently the corporation was disolved some years later and an informal "Sandy Beach Club" persisted until the early 1950s. In 1951, an organizational meeting was held to form the Sandy Beach Property Owners Association. The minutes of that first meeting follow, as do the by-laws that were adopted at that time. Subsequently, the by-laws were extensively revised in 1977 and the revised version is also attached. It is interesting to note that over the years, the organization has become far more informal than when first formed in the early 1930s. Also included in this section is a listing of the officers of the Association over the years, to the extent that they are available from the meeting minutes on hand. A.M.T.

Resolved that an application to the Land Commissioners of the State of New York be forwarded through said attorney, and that it be recommended to the Directors of this Corporation that such application be made with all d Wexpedition and such measures taken and conducted to a conclusion as are proper and necessary to acquire such land under water and to such extent as may be beneficial to the upland and allowed by said Comriissioners. Upon motion duly made and carried, the principal office of the Corporation was fixed at v REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS • ��w y OF THE ��. SANDY BEACH ASSOCIATION OF GREE,NPORT, N.Y. INCORPORATED �; % FOR THE YEAR 3_0�-1933 The Board of Directors in order to conserve their time and reduce' expenses to` the minimum confined its business to three meetings this years r The most important business transacted was the securing of the Letters Patent --( state grant) which was obtained two weeks ago by- our attorney, Mr. George T. Thompson of New York City. It is necessary that this r . Letters Patent be recorded and it is now in the hands of the County Clerk of Suffolk Co. As soon as recorded, which will take about five weel it will be returned to me to be filed with -other important papers of the Corporation in a safe deposit box at Nyack, N.Y. This letter patent stated that the land secured must be bulkheaded within five years or it remains the property of the state. If any part is bulkheaded it ceases to be a part of state land. If after being bulkheaded the property secured from the state is damaged as a result of any objectionable buildings or other incumberances to the east or west of us the state will reimburse us .for any loss sustainAd. Another matter of business successfully transacted was the sale of the lgnd upon which the Ketchem and Allen bungalows now stand. The purchase prize was forty dollars_a front foot, which included the buildings thereon- and the cost of the state grant. Both contracts call for payment of principal within two years. Payments to be made quarterly with interest on the unpaid balance. It is stated in both contracts that the purchaser5will-.pay, for the building of the bulkhead' in front of their property when the state grant is secured, also for filling in the land back of the bulkhead. Both parties to pay ten dollars twice a year for taxes. No. deeds to be given until _ parties complete the terms of the contract. - The third matter of business has to 'do with restricti'ons _on the beach property. To safeguard the interest of the stockholders as well as the owners of buildings, the Board of Directors felt that certain restrictions, which would help to enhance the sale of the unsold property, as well as personal interests, should be voted by^the stockholders at the annual meeting. The Board of Directors has no right to place restrictions on property owned by a corporation. This must always be done by the stockholders at their meetings. The following are the restrictions recommended by the Directors for adoption. c . Recstriction --l. . That no builds be allowed to be erected or moved within three (3� feet of the dividing line east or west of each lot. 2-- No new buildings or dwellings erected upon the propert shall cost less than $1200.00 (twelve hundred dollars}.
