PECONIC BAY BLVD. discussions started in 1890 about extending the road from South Jamesport to Bay Avenue in Mattituck. It was open by 1895.

PARK AVENUE AND BUNGALOW LANE were originally paths through the George M. Betts farm and wood land. Charles Worth Wickham bought the estate in 1876. He later began to sell building lots along the paths that faced Great Peconic Bay and Deep Hole Creek. Park Avenue was dedi-cated to the Town by Cedric Hull Wickham on March 4, 1946. There is no record of Bungalow Lane becoming a public road.

SIGSBEE ROAD got its name from Rear Admiral Charles Dwight Sigsbee of the U.S. Navy who purchased the property circa 1904 that ran from Route 25 to Great Peconic Bay. Rear Admiral Sigsbee never built his summer home there. The land was eventually sold and building lots were laid out along the road that was called Sigsbee Road.

BRAY AVENUE got its name from Frank Bray who purchased the land

from Route 25 to Great Peconic Bay, circa 1900. He built his summer home on the bay front. In October 1905 Frank and Charles Bray put a road down the middle of the land from Peconic Bay Blvd. to Route 25 and started selling building lots. They turned the road over to the Town on March 9, 1907.

BREAKWATER ROAD was dedicated a public road on Sept. 5, 1907. Andrew J. Cox requested a road be laid out through his property from Cox Neck Road to the west side of the Mattituck Creek inlet at Long Island Sound.

MARRATOOKA LANE was laid out in 1910 by the request of Charles Worth Wickham, James Kirkup and Frank Griffin, whose property it ran through. The road ran from Route 25, south to New Suffolk Avenue and was dedicated a Town road in 1910.

MARRATOOKA ROAD was laid out in 1921 from New Suffolk Avenue, south through the land of Hattie Lupton, continuing in that direction through the land of the late Charles Worth Wickham until it reached Great Peconic Bay. It was dedicated to the Town the same year, but named Lupton Avenue. Some years later it was changed to Marratooka Road.

CAMP MINEOLA ROAD was originally a wagon path through the Reeve farm that terminated at their berry field and apple orchid. In 1922 Judge Le-one D. Howell of Mineola bought the berry field and apple orchid along Great Peconic Bay and started selling building lots for summer homes to his friends connected with the Nassau County Court House in Mineola. The Reeve farm path leading from New Suffolk Avenue to the entrance of the private enclave of Camp Mineola was paved about 1946 and called Reeve Avenue. In the early 1950’s it was officially changed to Camp Mineola Road. Judge Howell’s daughter, Mildred Gregory, had the lanes within Camp Mineola named. They are, Howell Avenue, Fay Court, and Terry Path.

LEGION AVENUE runs from Pacific Street and takes a right angle turn, coming out at Route 25. The property it ran through in the 1920’s was owned by Harry Depetris of Mattituck, who requested a road be put through so he could sell building lots. The Town dedicated the road on July 31, 1923.

FREEMAN STREET was laid out in 1925 and was dedicated a public road on May 8, 1926 through the land of Bryant and Abbie Conklin.

The Artistic Hubbards:Greenport’s Talented Couple

by Antonia Booth, Southold Town Historian

RUTH HUBBARD: Musician and vocalist Ruth Antoinette Langlois married art-ist Whitney Hubbard of Greenport in 1925. She played the organ at the Greenport Methodist Church for over twenty-five years. Ruth and her husband were honored at Hubbard Appreciation Day in 1951 in a ceremony attended by Governor Thomas E. Dewey and other notables. Her choirs sang at Carnegie Hall and were honored at the World’s Fair Festival of Music. (photo courtesy of Brian and Dewey Sullivan.)

FRAMED IN DOORWAY: Wearing his trademark topcoat and fedora, Greenport artist Whitney Hubbard stands in front of the attractive First Street house in which he grew up and which later was shared with his wife, musician and choir director of the Greenport Methodist Church. The Hubbards were an old New England family while musician Ruth Langlois Hubbard was of French descent. (Photo courtesy of Brian and Dewey Sullivan.)

June 18, 2000 was declared Whitney Hubbard Day by a proclamation of then Super-visor Jean Cochran and the Southold town board. Many people know of the artist

Hubbard because of an exhibit held at the Masonic Temple that same year co-curated by Gail Horton and Geoffrey Leven for the Village of Greenport’s standing committee on Arts and Culture. Other members of the standing committee who worked on the show were John Rusch, Christine Hascoat, James and Thomas Monsell and Antonia Booth. Architect Hideaki Ariizumi designed the panels on which the Hubbard paint-ings hung. Coincidentally, a 1913 art show for the benefit of Eastern Long Island Hos-pital was also held at the Masonic Temple on Main Street and Hubbard was one of the artists whose work was shown there. Whitney Myron Hubbard was born in Middletown, Connecticut in 1875 and came to eastern Long Island along with his mother and brother Clarence, when his father Elijah began work as superintendent of the Long Island Brick Company at Ar-shamomoque. The brick company was established in 1887 by De Witt Clinton Sage, also from Connecticut. At the time the family came to the east end Whitney was thir-teen. He would spend the greater part of his 90 years in Greenport memorializing its harbor, beaches, woods, waterfront and gardens through his paintings. The Greenport of Whitney Hubbard’s youth was vastly different from the village we know today. When the Hubbards began living on First Street, the roads were un-paved; a sprinkling cart owned by the village would be filled with water from the bay, and then pulled by horses up and down the dirt streets to keep down the dust. There


were many more horses and bicycles than there were automobiles. Each year a small amount was spent on concrete sidewalks beginning on the main street and going to the various village churches until, gradually, every street had sidewalks. Telephones, sewers and a water system were all in the future. There was no parking lot on Adams Street, in fact Adams Street was just an alley and most of what is now the municipal parking lot was taken up with a large old hotel, the Clark House. Clark House remained in business, although competing with many other hotels and boarding houses, until 1935 when it was bought by the village and razed. Hubbard went to Greenport public schools, leaving here only to attend and graduate from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. His father Elijah later became a confectioner, selling his wares at Hubbard’s Cupboard on Main Street in a circa 1858 building where Whitney himself would later have a gallery. (For more about this shop at 207-209 Main Street, please see “Historic Greenport: Chronology & Historic District Walking Tour” compliments of the Village of Greenport Business Improvement District.) The guide points out that later that same space was also leased to photographers Frank Hartley and Hugo Frey. Incidentally, the census of Greenport which appears in the “Southold-Shelter Island Register of 1910-11” shows Elijah H. Hubbard and his wife, the former Fannie M. Bailey, living at their home on First Street. Son Clarence E. was working as a machinist while Whitney M. is listed as a teacher and artist. The talented artist later attended the Art Students League in New York City studying with Frank Vincent DuMond where he learned the methods of plein air painting. Hubbard also taught adult education in Southold schools, longest at Greenport. From 1931 to 1941 Hubbard supplemented his income by serving as Director of Fine Arts at the Suffolk Conservatory of Music and Arts in Riverhead. His reputation was as a modest, retiring chap, not at all what one would expect from a man whose works were shown at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the High Museum in Atlanta, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., and who was listed yearly in “Who’s Who” and the International Directory of Arts published in Berlin, Germany. Primarily a landscape and marine artist, Hubbard also studied with Du-Mond at Lyme, Connecticut. His first local exhibit was in 1913 at a show to benefit Eastern Long Island Hospital. Other painters with studios on the North Fork who showed their works at this successful fund-raiser were Edward Moran, Irving R. Wiles, Edward August Bell, Harry Roseland, Chares Vezin, Caroline “Dolly” Bell and Julia M. Wickham, according to an essay on Hubbard by the well-known art critic Ronald G. Pisano. 1913 was also, noted Pisano, the year of the “famous Armory Show in New York City, which has been credited with introducing modern art to America.” Other venues on Long Island where Whitney Hubbard’s paintings have been shown include Mattituck Library, the Moseley Galleries in Greenvale, the Muse-ums at Stony Brook and Pratt Institute at Brooklyn. On June 11, 1925, Whitney Hub-bard married Ruth Antoinette Langlois of Greenport. Ruth was the daughter of a minister born on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel. Her father emigrated from France to the United States in 1867 and was naturalized in 1894 at Bridgeport, Connecticut. Her mother Almira was a musician from whom Ruth probably inher-ited her talents as both vocalist and mu-sician. The parents lived at 305 Fifth Av-enue in Greenport. Daughter Ruth played the organ at the Greenport Methodist Church and helped support the family by giving piano lessons. The couple was mar-ried by Rev. Abram Conklin. It was a first marriage for both. The groom was 49 and the bride, 34. They lived in the house at 511 First Street in which Whitney grew up. The attractive home was built in the mid-nineteenth century with a Greek re-vival doorway, dentils around both eaves and double-arched windows in the gable. Serendipitously, my brother Brian Sullivan and his wife Dewey later bought the house and, while looking through the attic, found many photographs of Whitney Hubbard and his wife Ruth.

ADULT EDUCATION TEACHER: Artist Whitney Hubbard taught group classes as well as adult ed classes in public schools. This is a glimpse of him in the doorway of a classroom at Greenport School. Many of his students were later interviewed for the Whitney Hubbard Project in 2000 by Hallockville Museum staff. A shy, retiring man he was always willing to extend himself to help his students and his wife Ruth, a musician, was the same. (Photo from the Sullivan collection.)

A headline in the April 20, 1951 issue of The Suffolk Times announced that two “distinguished citizens” were to be honored on Hubbard Appreciation Day at the Methodist Church. There was to be an organ recital by Ruth Hub-bard as well as a showing of Whitney Hubbard’s paintings. Guests included Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Mayor Otis Burt and other village officials. At the time of the event, Ruth Langlois Hubbard had been organist and choir director of the Greenport Methodist Church for more than twenty-five years. Her junior choir won honors at the World Fair’s Festival of Music and her se-nior choirs performed at Carnegie Hall. The couple always lacked for money although they spent much on the many cats they adopted and occasionally ate out at the Coronet and Paradise Sweet Shop. They were close neighbors of the Monsell family who provided

them with transportation (they had no car) and often invited them to Sunday dinner. Tom and Jim Monsell wrote a charming essay in the bro-chure accompanying the 2000 exhibit about the cultural riches the Hubbards provided to them as young boys and the hospitality extended by Ruth and Whitney who served tea and sand-wiches in the backyard of their home. Other close neighbors were Doctor and Mrs. Percy-Tuthill and their nine children. A useful series of oral interviews called the Whitney Hubbard Project was done in 2000 by the Hallockville Museum Farm staff in Riverhead. Many local art students were interviewed: Martha Mazza-ferro, Robert Ketcham, Florence Kramer and Mary Tuthill among them. Memories of both students and neighbors illustrate the fact that Whitney Hubbard was a gentleman; helpful and kind with a good sense of humor and a patient, inspired teacher. He suffered a stroke rather early in life and was forced to learn to paint with his left hand. Some critics say this only improved the quality of his work. Joyce Klipp, in an interview for the Whit-ney Hubbard Project, describes something no one else mentioned: that Ruth wrote plays in which her students appeared. Mothers of the choir members made the costumes and Whit-ney painted the scenery at a “huge studio in Paradise Woods” where some of the musical plays were performed. Lester Little, who owned the studio, built an organ at the studio himself, according to Joyce. The organ was decorated

THE WHITNEY AND RUTH HUBBARD HOUSE: this circa 1858 home is on the Greenport Village architectural walking tour and boasts a late Greek-Revival doorway with unusual trim on the pilasters, den-tils around the eaves and door with double-arched windows in the gable. Whitney Hubbard was a well-known painter and his wife a fine musician. Their studio was open to students and the garden a subject of his paintings and a hobby. Hubbard’s gallery (which was earlier his father’s confec-tionary shop) was renovated by artist Rich Fiedler and his wife in 2002. (Courtesy of Brian and Dewey Sullivan.)

Speakers Sally Pope and Sylvia Baruch from NISI (Neighbors in Support of Immigrants), represent an ad hoc group sympathetic to the difficulties faced by today’s immigrant communities. They believe that all people share a common humanity and that everyone is entitled to just and humane treatment. Their pur-pose is to influence the debate on Immigration reform to spur local government to provide services that will ease the immigrant acculturation to Long Island’s East End communities, and to make the East End a welcoming place for immigrants.(http://supportimmigrants.blogspot.com/). The program takes place in the com-munity room NFRS shares with the Cutchogue Presbyterian Church. For direc-tions go to www,northforkreformsynagogue.org or call 631 749=8805 for informa-tion. The program is free and the public is invited. Light refreshments will be served and a lively discussion can take place.

516-312-2167• [email protected] Peconic Bay Power Squadron will present “Using GPS”, part of the USPS University seminar series, at 1pm at West Marine, 1089 Old Country Road, Riv-erhead. Attendees will learn about GPS functions, screens, controls, waypoints, courses and much more. GPS has become a common tool for navigation. How-ever, using GPS on the water is distinctly different from a moving map display in your car. This seminar explains the principles of waypoint navigation and how to access the functions you need. Students will be shown how to relate GPS to navi-gation charts which provide essential information about the area around you. By the time you have completed the seminar, you will be able to store waypoints into your GPS, activate them for navigation, and use GPS to keep you on a safe, pre-qualified course of your choosing. You’ll get some tips for choosing a GPS if you don’t currently own one and we’ll provide a waterproof McGraw-Hill Captain’s Quick Guide, titled Using GPS, to remind you how to access the various func-tions. This seminar walks you through the essentials of plotting and following a safe course using your GPS. A $45.00 fee includes a copy of the presentation materials and the quick guide. To reserve your space, call Capt. Fred Roffe at 631-728-3721 or visit www.PBPS.usPeconic Bay Power Squadron is one of 18 local squadrons across Long Island that make up USPS® District 3, a regional unit of the United States Power Squadrons® - America’s Boating Club®.

tueSday niGHt leCtuReSEach fall the Southold Historical Society holds a lecture series featuring historians and researchers from across the Long Island region. The series includes 6 different lectures that cover a variety of topics, some of which in the past have included the American Revolution, the fishing industry, historic hotels and inns, and artists of the North Fork. The lectures are held in cooperation with Peconic Landing, who graciously hosts the lectures in the Community Center located on the north side of Route 25 just east of Greenport. ALL LECTURES: TUESDAYS AT 8PMoctober 23: a History of the william Floyd estate, Mary laura lamontThe ‘Old Mastic House’ on the estate was the beloved home of eight generations of Floyd family members. It’s most famous resident was William Floyd, one of New York’s Sign-ers of the Declaration of Independence. His descendants gave the house and property on Moriches Bay to the National Park Service in 1976. When it was donated the house was left completely furnished by the family, showcasing the rich history of one of Long Island’s most notable families.november 6: Gatsby and Beyond: the Fabled Gardens of long island’s Gold Coast, Constance t. HaydockOriginally comprising vast areas of the North Shores of Long Island, the Gold Coast was a favorite retreat of the rich and famous. Beginning around the turn of the century and through the 1920’s, the North Shore was the place to be for some of the most notable Ameri-cans. Along with grand houses, they built elaborate gardens, hiring such notable architects and landscape architects as Delano and Aldrich, Carrere and Hastings, the Olmsted Broth-ers, and Beatrix Farrand. Discover the gardens, as they were originally built, and learn about their history, landscape design, and present condition.november 20: the tragic wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico, art MattsonArthur Mattson’s presentation is the true story of two American tall ships that were wrecked in the winter of 1836-37, one off Rockaway Beach and the other off Long Beach, only a few hundred yards from shore. The twin disasters resulted in the deaths of 215 people, 100 of them by drowning on the Bristol and 115 by freezing to death on the deck of the Mexico. It is a story of unrealized hope for hundreds of immigrants - mostly poor Irishmen - squeezed aboard those cargo ships like barrels of merchandise. december 4: a History of plum island, Ruth ann BramsonRuth Ann Bramson, President of Oysterponds Historical Society and East Marion Com-munity Association, will provide a lecture and slide presentation on the fascinating history of Plum Island, located off of Orient at the tip of eastern Long Island. Her presentation will discuss the early settlements of the Corchaug Indians, colonial farming families, involve-ment in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Spanish American War, and World Wars I and II, the turnover of island to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in 1952.

SoutHold HiStoRiCal SoCiety exHiBition openS oCt. 20“George Hallock Art Exhibition ‘Determined to Paint’ will be held at the Society’s new exhibition building, The Reichert Family Center, in the Cosden Price Gallery, and will featuring both oil and watercolor paintings by the noted Orient, Long Island artist George W. Hallock (1916-1984). “We were delighted to be able to work with the Hallock family to finally bring about an exhibition that honors the enormous talent of George W. Hallock,” stated Geof-frey K. Fleming, Director of the Society. A large number of the nearly three dozen works on display in the exhibition were loaned by the children of George Hallock. George W. Hallock was raised in the idyllic surroundings of “Halyoake Farm,” a sprawling farm that was acquired by his family in Orient during the 19th century. Like his father, George Hallock Jr., he was much more of an artist than a farmer. He was a painter, photographer, enjoyed music, and was an organist. As a young man, he is thought to have had his first training as a painter under William Steeple Davis (1884-1961), an artist who lived his entire life in Orient, Long Island. He is also suspected of studying with the Greenport artist, Whitney M. Hubbard (1875-1965), who taught at the Suffolk Conservatory of Music and Arts in Riverhead and in the adult education department at the high school in Greenport. As a young man Hallock worked on the family farm but set his sights on going away to college to study music. Hallock was accepted and left to attend Oberlin College in Ohio in September of 1935 where fellow neighbor and future artist, Albert Latham (1909-1976), was also studying. Upon his return to Orient he set up a gift shop in nearby Greenport at 400 Main Street named “The Hallocks,” where he sold flowers from his family’s greenhouses while also offering gift items, including his own paint-ings for sale. As was the case for many of the artists working on the North Fork, there were not many opportunities to exhibit and sell paintings or other artworks. This would all change with the creation of the Old Town Arts and Crafts Guild, located in Cutchogue, New York. The Guild was founded in 1950 with the aim of promoting and selling works by local and regional artists, offering “ … lectures, demonstrations, and special exhibits during the course of the year which will promote interest and active participation in various arts and crafts …” Hallock was part of the group that founded the Guild and in 1951, was elected at the age of thirty-five as the second vice president of the newly formed organization. He also served as the chairman of the membership committee. As an artist, Hallock greatly admired the Swedish-American impressionist painter, John Fabian Carlson, N.A. (1874-1945), whose works he constantly clipped out of magazines and books for reference. Carlson founded his own school of landscape painting in Woodstock, New York, in 1922 and in 1942 co-founded a summer school in Gloucester, Massachusetts with noted maritime artist Emile Gruppe (1896-1978). Unlike many of his contemporaries on the North Fork of Long Island who exhibited widely, Hallock’s works remained hidden until very recently due to his shyness and his near total lack of interest in exhibiting his paintings. This, in many ways, hurt his rep-utation as there were never many paintings available to exhibit, view, or purchase. In fact, he was a superior landscape and seascape painter compared to many of the other artists who were working on the North Fork from the 1930s through the 1950s. This new exhibition will feature a number of oil paintings, many of which have never been seen outside of the homes of the Hallock family. Several paintings will be fea-tured from the Society’s own collection, while other works are being loaned by private collectors residing on the North Fork. These works include views of Orient Harbor, Peter’s Neck, Greenport boat yards, the grounds of Halyoake Farm, as well as images of many of the now vanished buildings that once made up the farm. In addition, a number of original watercolors done both on Long Island and in Pennsylvania will be on display. A feature of the exhibition is a sixty page catalog documenting George W. Hallock’s life and career, which will be available for purchase both on-line and through the Soci-ety’s Museum Gift Shop. Written by Southold Historical Society Director Geoffrey K. Fleming, the catalog contains a detailed biography and nearly fifty color reproductions of Hallock’s oils and watercolors. The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, October 20th and will remain on view through Saturday, December 15th. The Reichert Family Center and Cosden Price Gallery, where the exhibition will be held, is open Thursday, Friday, and Satur-day, 1-4pm, and by appointment. The gallery is located at 54127 Route 25 in South-old, just west of Jeni’s Main Street Grill.

MARY’S ROAD, CONKLIN ROAD AND BAYER ROAD were laid out by the Town in 1927 through lands of Nathaniel S. Tuthill, Gustav Bay-er, Bryant & Abbie Conklin and the Pike brothers. I can’t locate for whom Mary’s Road was named. Conklin Road was extended in 1928 from Freeman Street to Mary’s Road, and dedicated a public road on April 4, 1929.

PIKE STEET (EXTENSION #1) was laid out in 1928 from Wickham Av-enue east up Conklin hill, continuing east to Maple Avenue. The road went through the farms of Bryant Conklin and Fred Pike. It was dedicated a public road on December 20, 1928.

MAPLE AVENUE was also laid out in 1928 from Pike Street Extension, south to Route 25, going through the land of Fred Pike. It was dedicated a public road on December 20, 1928.

HILL STREET was laid out in 1928 by Cedric Hull Wickham when he owned the former Alert and McGuire Pickling factory. Hill Street ran east from Wickham Avenue to Mary’s Road, going through the property of Ce-dric Hull Wickham and Bryant S. Conklin. It was dedicated a public road on December 20, 1928, the same date as Pike Street Extension and Maple Avenue.

BAILEY BEACH ROAD was laid out in 1931 by Charles J. McNulty through his property, and property of John Cybulski, soon to be purchased by the Gildersleeve brothers. The road started at the north end of the north Reeve Avenue and ran along the south side of the Bailey estate, terminating at Long Island Sound. It became a public road on January 20, 1932.

SOUNDVIEW AVENUE was laid out in 1932 by Charles J. McNulty through his property, starting at the north end of the north Reeve Avenue and ran east for almost one mile along Long Island Sound. It became a public road on January 20, 1933.

PIKE STREET (EXTENSION #2) was laid out in1934 when the new Dis-trict #9 school was built in the Broderick farm. The road was called School House Lane and ran east from Pike Street extension #1, then made a right angle turn, continuing south to Route 25. It was paved but remained the property of School District #9 until they dedicated it a public road on Octo-ber 4, 1971, and changed the name to Pike Street.

OLD MAIN ROAD running east at Bray Avenue was originally part of Kings Highway, then Route 25. In the 1930’s the by-pass north of it was built to eliminate two curves.

RILEY AVENUE was dedicated a public road on May 25, 1935. It was laid out by George Riley and his two brothers, through the land they owned from Bay Avenue, east along James Creek. Originally summer cottages were built there. George Riley and his wife, Mae, owned the Mattituck House Hotel on the corner of Sound Avenue and Love Lane.

EAST LEGION AVENUE & NORTH RILEY ROAD were laid out shortly after 1935. They remained private roads until they were dedicated as public roads by Southold Town on December 20, 1966.DEEPHOLE DRIVE was laid out by the executors of the estate of Henry Gild-ersleeve in 1939. They sold building lots on the three sides of creek front.

OLE JULE LANE, KRAUS ROAD & CHANNEL ROAD were named by Julius Zebroski of Southold in the late 1940’s when he bought the acreage from Leslie Bermingham and laid out the three roads, selling building lots

Continued from page 17...along them. They became Town roads on October 25, 1949. Kraus Road was named for William Kraus Sr. and his wife who built a house on the southwest corner of Kraus Road and Camp Mineola Road. William Kraus Jr. and his family built a house on the northwest corner. The Town never paved Chan-nel Road and they abandoned ownership of it in 1973.

SUNSET AVENUE runs south from Route 25, then makes a right angle turn, terminating at Marratooka Lane. On June 3, 1950 Southold Town ap-proved an application from Cedric Hull Wickham to have a road put through property owned by him, for the purpose of selling building lots.

CENTER STREET was laid out by Marjorie Wickham in 1950 through land she inherited from her late husband, Spencer Wickham, a son of Charles Worth Wickham. The road ran between Marratooka Road and Bungalow Lane. Mrs. Wickham sold building lots along the road. It became a Town road on July 11, 1950.

KNOLLWOOD LANE was named by Robert Muir, Robert Preston and Kenneth Monsell in 1951. They bought the nineteenth century Fairly Land Cottage summer boarding house on the east side of Mattituck Creek, along with the sixteen acres of land through which they put a road and sold build-ing lots. The land and boarding house had belonged to Captain Benjamin G. Tuthill and his wife, Hannah E. Dayton.

MARLENE LANE was laid out in 1952 by William Abitz who had bought Judge Haggarty’s property from Route 25 to Great Peconic Bay, including the mansion at the bay. Mr. Abitz put a road down the middle of the property, naming it for his daughter, and sold building lots. It was dedicated as a Town road on May 6, 1952.EAST SIDE AVENUE & HARBOR VIEW AVENUE were laid out in the early 1930’s through the land of the Gildersleeve brothers, running south from Bai-ley Beach Road, east along Mattituck Creek, then making a right angle turn to the east, terminating at the north Reeve Avenue. Houses began to be built along the road. On Novem-ber 23, 1952 they became Town roads. The part going south was named East Side Avenue and the east portion was named Harbor View Avenue.

ROUTE 48 was constructed from Sound Avenue and Cox Neck Road to Love Lane in 1943 as a way to continue east without crossing the railroad tracks at Sound Avenue. When completed, one continued east on Love lane, onto Hamilton Avenue. Left on Wickham Avenue would take you past Wolf Pit Lake and connect you into North Road, now Route 48, continuing on to Southold, Greenport and Orient Point. Beginning in January 1968 the span from Cox Neck Road to Love Lane was made into a duel highway. The duel highway was continued on Hamilton Avenue from Love Lane to Wickham Avenue and on the east/west run of Conklin Road to Mary’s Road. From there it went through farm land to connect with the North Road at Elijah’s Lane, continuing as a duel highway to Southold. They named it Route 27. Later the name was changed to Route 48.

THERESA DRIVE, DONNA DRIVE & RICHARD STREET were named by Frank Zaleski in 1973 when he bought the balance of the Henry Gildersleeve farm and sold building lots. They became Town roads Aug. 28, 1973.

FRANKLINVILLE ROAD was the former Route 25 through the hamlet of Laurel after the by-pass was built to the south of it in 1979 to prevent au-tomobile accidents annually on its two ‘S’ curves. After the by-pass was built, the old portion of Route 25 was called Old Main Road. In 1982 the residents of Laurel wanted the name changed to Franklinville Road. It was officially changed in March 1983. The name Laurel replaced the name Franklinville in 1898 after there was too much misguided mail between the villages of Franklinville in New York State.

with a mural of Peconic Bay painted by Whitney Hubbard. It was dedicated in 1931 and the last performance was by organ-ist Ruth Hubbard on August 30, 1959. (Ruth died on July 1, 1964, while Whitney died less than a year later, on June 8, 1965. They are both buried in Stirling Cemetery as was Eli-jah Hubbard who died in 1925 and his wife, Fanny M. Bailey Hubbard, who died in 1927. George Hubbard, former Mayor of Greenport, was among those interviewed. Whitney Hubbard was his great-uncle and Clarence Hubbard his grand-father. Mr. Hubbard describes how he cleaned up the house after Whitney died in 1965 and held a sale of his paintings there. Prices were low and the im-ages, often done on cigar box covers, were eagerly snapped up. Others interviewed were James Heaney and Alice and Jerry King. An abbreviated version of the art show from the Ma-sonic Temple in Greenport in 2000 was later held at the Mu-seums at Stony Brook. In a review in The New York Times on September 10, 2000, critic Helen A. Harrison noted that Hubbard’s primary subject was the area close to his Green-port home, including the waterfront. Since few of his paint-ings were dated, Ms. Harrison points out the impossibility of tracing his stylistic development. The influences of American Impressionism, Tonalism (an art movement of the late 1800s that emphasized mood and shadow in American landscapes) and post-Impressionism were trends to which the “conserva-tive” Hubbard responded. Some of the paintings exhibited at Stony Brook were from the permanent collection of the mu-seums. Art and music are a vital part of life. We are fortunate in the twenty-first century to have many talented artists and mu-sicians living in our midst; at the same time it is good to com-memorate two accomplished people who lived and worked so much earlier in Southold Town and the village of Greenport.

Continued from page 19...

This stunning painting titled “Sunset, Greenport, L.I.” was painted by Whitney M. Hubbard around 1925. It is done in oils on paperboard and from a private collection. It was exhibited at the Masonic Temple in Greenport in the year 2000.

Greenport Church steeples behind what could be a gypsy encampment in the village. Dependent on neigh-bors to take him to vistas away from the village, the artist liked to memorialize scenes that were easy to get to. See “Images of Greenport by Antonia Booth and Thomas Monsell” (page 82) for “AN ART CLASS BY THE DOCK” lent by Herb Adler.
