[2] Still retaining its internal machinery, this windmill is unusual for Long Island, in that it has a fantail to turn the sails into the wind.

The Hayground Windmill, in 1984, was one of eleven surviving 18th and early 19th century wind-powered gristmills on Long Island.

Mary Pickford Starred in 'Huldah for Holland', a 1919 movie which also featured a descendant of an original shareholder, Malby B.

[5] After 1919 the mill was used variously as a tea room and artist's studio, notably by Agnes Pelton, who moved into it in 1921 and painted the first of her spiritual abstracts within it in 1926.

[6] In 1950 Robert Dowling purchased the windmill and moved it to his estate on the dunes in East Hampton where it was a decorative motif.
