The Property Has Relations To Walt Whitman
Here’s a collection of Carll family images detailing their lives. Huntington’s Hidden Past by Kerriann Flanagan Brosky, a book about local history, uncovered several fascinating facts about the family’s property: “The land on which the farm stands, off Commack Road, was originally inhabited by members of the Secatougue Indian tribe. According to a deed of record from 1698, the Indians conveyed the parcel of land to John Skidmore and John Whitman, great-great-great grandfather of poet Walt Whitman.”

A Problem With The Stairs
The main staircase can be seen here, which must have been a magnificent sight when the house was built in 1860. In the house, there is another stairwell that leads to the basement. According to Sansivero, the other flight of steps was in poor shape. “We were only in the basement once and I did not get any pictures of it. The stairs collapsed as we were going back up,” he says. Exploring old, abandoned structures, while lovely, can be extremely dangerous.
