The Outhouses c. 2015
This gable-roofed "Boys" outhouse was built in the late 19th century and was owned by the White family on Long Springs Rd. The gable-roofed "Girls" outhouse was built in the late 19th century and came from the Baird family of West Neck. Oral history says that its fanciful trim reveals its use for ladies.
