Matinecock
  As early as 1896, it was proposed that Matinecock Lodge be housed in it's own building. After planning to build for a number of years, the Oyster Bay Inn (previously the Townsend Inn) was purchased in 1923. The first communication (number 902) was held on September 3, 1924. This is the building that we still occupy.


The Townsend Inn in 1902. The gables were removed in 1924. The rear 'annex' building was razed in the 1970's.


The Lodge room in 1940. Notice the TR window in the East and the Cuban Mason's memorial to TR at the extreme left on the floor.
