My guess is 30 years of disrepair. and they were doing some cheap construction during the Carter administration. cheap windows, roofs, fixtures. The only thing over 50 years old is the garage.

That's a big piece of property, over a third of an acre. There are no pictures of the inside and some mention of renovation in the listing. I wonder how bad it is. 23 Dundee in Argyle Park, Blog.

The Village has to let you build if the site meet those requirements. The TOB has nothing to do with it. You need at least 7500 SF a 75′ frontage and a 2 car garage to build.

Do you think it was the Town? I have to say it is a real shame to lose any amount of open space, no matter how small. I think having two extra homes instead of that large lot will make Deer Park Avenue a lot less nice than it is now. Gary, I agree that a lot has been lost, but I do think the Village pays lip service to valuing what makes the Village special, and some of that is our collection of historic homes which, compared to say West Babylon, is a distinguishing feature.

There is enough property on those parcels to warrant additional building. It is a very long and protracted legal battle to prevent someone from building when they have the required frontage and square footage. The VOB unfortunately would lose any challenge to development. unfortunately there is no historic district zoning. There is enough property on those parcels to warrant additional building.

This used to be a popular resort back in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but almost none of that is left except for a few homes here and there. All of the famous hotels and other significant structures from that period have been knocked down and turned into houses or condos. I have a small collection of Babylon postcards from that era very little of what's pictured on them is still standing.

That's one of the oldest homes in the Village, or it will be until it gets knocked down for three hideous po-mo structures crowded next to each other.
