Inside The Americana: Farmhouses and Manors of Long Island Books Signing

This past Sunday Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon of Douglas Elliman, hosted Kyle Marshall for the book signing of his new book Americana: Farmhouses and Manors of Long Island, at 30 Smith Lane in Nissequogue.

The book is described as being set between the sound and the sea, Long Island is home to some of America's most intriguing country houses. This book highlights the best examples, telling the story of each through outstanding contemporary color photography. The dwellings, which began as 17th-century homesteads and 18th-century, high-style plantation manor houses, embody centuries of ownership and building activity―an aesthetic evolution shaped by both Dutch and English colonial influences and proximity to the cultural crossroads of Long Island Sound and New York City.

Mayor Richard Smith; Tom Postilio of Douglas Elliman; singer and American Songbook Ambassador, Michael Feinstein; Mickey Conlon of Douglas Elliman and Kyle Marshall, author of the "Americana: Farmhouses and Manors of Long Island" book.

These many-layered homes, both large and small, have anchored successive generations engaged in living well amid evolving American taste, each generation expanding, altering, and redefining them in accordance with popular trends and personal eccentricities. Representing the best of maverick Americana, their charmed interiors exude warmth, comfort, and familiarity and contain wonderful old objects and materials that will satiate all who hunger for old houses.

The newly listed $2.495 million 19-acre waterfront estate that hosted the signing dates back to 1687. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home most recently of former Smithtown mayor and Smithtown-founder descendent Malcolm Smith, Jr. still has the walk-in fireplaces from 1687 and many historical details still intact.
