A Look Inside The Dining Room
The dining room of the house is still fully equipped in this photo. There’s a china hutch, Ms. Carll’s desk, some extra chairs, and the artifact-covered dining table to the left. The modern garbage can off to the right suggests that someone was cleaning up the house or that it was placed there to capture water from one of the many leaks in the ceiling. Someone with official access to the mansion would have been brought there because the site is fully inaccessible to the public.

History All Over The Place
Ms. Carll’s interest in history extended to her daily life. This account of a gathering hosted by her at the farmstead appeared in the March 30, 1952, issue of The Northport Journal. The “Tercentenary meeting of the Commack Committee was held Thursday evening with Miss Marion Carll. Many interesting antiques were displayed and the conversation on old time events was greatly enjoyed.” She was also known for hosting local youngsters for history and farming demonstrations.
