This is the public school that was once on the Setauket Green, about 1905. In the background the spire and part of the Caroline Episcopal Church is visible. To the right would be the Setauket Presbyterian Church. There are no structures on the green now. The building was moved near the Methodist Church, without the belfry.

  "Caroline
Church, East Setauket." The Episcopal church is on Dyke Road in
Setauket.
The back says, "Caroline Church erected in 1729, is named for Caroline,
Queen of George II, who donated a silver communion service which is
still
in use." The door is now white, as can be seen in the picture taken in
March of 2002, but it's basically unchanged from this view. Right: a
Greene
photo card after 1906. The church has a web
site. |

 This picture taken
in March of 2002 shows the many
additions
to the original 1812 church structure. William
Jayne, an original settler of Setauket, is buried in the
graveyard.
The church has a web
site. Right: From the air showing Little Bay in the background. |

 This
photo card of the Emma S. Clark Library by A. S. Greene. The building
has
been expanded often since it was finished in 1892. The drive was moved
to the side, and the covered waiting area is gone. For an enlargement
of
the building click here.
Right: a 1908
card showing a building to right. |

This picture was taken in 2002. To the right is an older addition. At the back are other additions that were added at different times. The clock works. For a close-up with the leaves out, click here. The history is on their web site. |

Setauket School next to the library on Main Street. Built in 1951. The figure over the door of the right wing a figure of Revolutionary War Major Benjamin Tallmadge. |

"Catholic Church, Setauket, L. I." printed before 1907. The building is still on the west side of Main Street in Setauket, but it is now the Saint German of Alaska Orthodox Catholic Church. The original congregation built a new church on 25A in 1968 and this became the Orthodox Church in 1976. It is now the Monastery of the Holy Cross. Above the bellfry is a traditional onion shaped dome. |

The Setauket United Methodist Church on what is now the corner of 25A (the road on the side of the church) and Main Street. The road at the side of the church probably ended at the farms then. To the right the road continues to Port Jefferson. This is a real photo, not by A. S. (Arthur Smedley) Greene. |
 |
This picture was taken in August of 2001. The steeple has been replaced and in the process the design slightly altered. One window on the side has also been eliminated. For a close-up of the small white building to the right, click here. |

"Setauket Factory Before the Fire" by A. S. Greene. If you had turned
left
to go along what is now Route 25A by the Methodist church you would
have
gotten to this piano factory built in 1861 on the south side. The
building
was bought in 1876 by the Long Island Rubber Company and expanded. The
fire, as best as I can determine, occurred in 1898.
Right: An illustration of the "Upright Piano Made by Robert and William Nunns, Setauket, L. I." from the March 1902 issue of The Etude, a music publication in Philadelphia, PA. |

This card, mailed from East Setauket in 1910, is marked as the Long Island Rail Road station in Setauket. The message on another copy states it was the Setauket train station. This is no longer a stop on the Port Jefferson line. Later pictures of the station, with the sign, show a building that looks like a two story house. |
