Vernacular Architecture

…Over the following weeks, I received calls
from FEMA and the National Park Service,
who wanted to see the bungalows and the
bay houses that survived. The staff of these
large agencies were as curious as I was as to
why the bungalows showed little damage.
From that point on, they recommended that
residents begin planting beach grass to create
dunes, a scene we saw happening throughout
coastal communities in the following months.

The boatyard has a long and impressive history, as one of the first to cater to recreational fishermen and boaters in this “Five Towns” community on Long Island’s South Shore….The architecture of boatyards is somewhat traditional, but there are unique structures
found in each one.
