THE HOME OF 
ARCHIBALD BROWN 
Stony Brook, L. I. 
PEABODY, WILSON & BROWN 
A rchitects 
The original house was probably 
erected about ij 8 o . In altering and 
remodeling it the architects carefully 
preserved the spirit and style of the 
original structure. Extensions added 
to the old house create a courtyard. 
A view of the southeast corner is 
shown to the right 
Quite a picturesque treatment has 
been given the entrance. Instead of 
an open portico, a vestibule is en¬ 
closed a>ul the door is so placed as to 
repeat the lines of the columns and 
arch. This extensioji is continued on 
one side, the wall being filled with an 
expanse of small panes 
One of the additions consisted of a 
service wing, the entrance of which is 
shown to the right. The exterior of 
the house is of shingles painted 
white and the roof of shingles left to 
weather. The shutters are green and 
the chimneys are of white brick with 
black tops
