Oyster Bay Bank Building

In addition to the bank, other users have included the Masons of Matinecock Lodge, Theodore Roosevelt while he served as Governor of New York, and architect Edward Durrell Stone.

One newspaper recounts how in 1902, a flag was brought from Washington and raised from a new halyard at the Oyster Bay Bank Building, called the "little White House" in the article.

Originally the building was set back from the sidewalk about ten feet with a flight of wide stops leading up to the entrance.

Local contractors excavated under the basement and through a system of hundreds of jacks and rollers the massive building was both lowered and brought forward.

This elaborate procedure took place on May 20, 1927 a day most people remember for Charles Lindbergh’s historic solo flight across the Atlantic.
