hard to find or might not still exist edit

I went by looking for a photo but wow. It's a tiny dirt road winding through trees with multimillion dollar houses on it. I could not find the house and I asked some neighbors who had no idea. This is what it looks like, maybe someone local can find it.

I found an 1893 painting and an 1895 photograph of the house, but the land around it was pretty barren... at least in the 1890's. I assume a lot of trees have grown around that area since then. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 16:37, 3 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
I updated the URLS for the nomination form and photos, and corrected the location in the 2013 photo. This needs a revisit when the leaves are off the trees. Generic1139 (talk) 18:04, 3 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Do you know what should also be captured? Shinnecock Hills (LIRR station). It hasn't been an active railroad station since the Great Depression, but while it's not on NRHP it's still a local landmark that ought to be shown off. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:28, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
