This 1965 shot shows Cass Pylko’s Southold Sweet Shop next to Midge’s Fabrics, on the north side of the Main Road in Southold Village. Today the spaces are home to Carols’s Kids Corner /Bath & Linens on the left, and Joan Tyrer Real Estate on the right.


Southold Tryak sold (among other things) Rolle Bros. farm equipment displayed in this 1960 Charles H. Meredith photograph.

The same building today is completely restored inside and out as Southold’s “Fitness Advantage” on Route 48 (Middle Road), Southold.


This circa 1890 view shows the store of Goldsmith and Tuthill on the southeast corner of the Main Road and New Suffolk Avenue in Cutchogue. It was the home of the North Fork Bank for many years.Recently purchased and renovated, it retains the twin attic windows and roof lines making the identification simple.

The restaurant was sold, and above right shows renovations to the building, soon to become the

Mill Creek Inn.

Today, as seen on the right, this beautiful waterfront spot is a perfectvenue location for special events.

Why did 1.3 million families refuse to buy life insurance online?

They had an Allstate Agency they trusted to help them get it right.Let’s sit down and talk about your life insurance needs today. I’m happy to answer questions, explain the details and help you choose the right policy for your family and budget. Life insurance is too important not to have an Allstate Agent looking out for you. Call me.


Congratulations and $50 to Dave DeFriest who was first to submit a list of names and named all but one student for this 1954-55 Southold Kindergarten class.

We thank the many readers who took the time to submit names. No one, however, named the one unidentified girl. One entry thought her first name might have been Pat, and another thought she was only in Southold for a short time.

The students in the picture are:1st row L to R: Josephine Gajeski, David DeFriest, Marie Walters, Bob Klos, JoAnn Hagerman, Donald Mudd, Margaret Bennett

2nd row: Ed Dart, Denise Stelzer, Al Koke, Beth Dickerson, George Gaffaga, Kathy Berry, ?
