A LONG ISLAND RETREAT THAT’S ALWAYS IN FASHION

“On one of the pleasantest of the Long Island country roads, there is to be seen one of these made-over barns, which now present the appearance of a quaint, gray-shingled house with a green roof, and a large brick chimney in the middle. There are many diamond-paned windows set along the sides, and a little porch at the side door with a balcony above it.” So begins a story in the August 1912 issue of American Homes and Gardens, where 363 South Country Road made its print debut a little over a century ago.
