SPOTLIGHT PHOTOS

 Having so many neat photos scattered over all these 500+ pages on this websight, and with new ones arriving and being found from all over, I hit upon the brainstorm that it might be nice to single one out from time to time. And it will also call attention to a specific part of the websight that has grown far past what I ever thought it would. So this page will be often updated , but not on any specific schedule. When it is, the date will change on main menu. Former photos are archived below with a quick link to them.

JOHN & CORNELIA

Here are the last folks to occupy the Mastic Beach William Floyd Estate as a private residence. John Treadwell Nichols 1883- 1958 & his wife, Cornelia Floyd Nichols 1886-1977. The Nichols are canoeing on what appears to be Lon's or Home Creek here. John was a naturalist and a longtime curator at the Museum Of Natural History. He wed Cornelia Dubois Floyd in 1910 at the Floyd estate. Cornelia a direct descendant of Wiliam Floyd (the signer) remained on the estate after John's passing and deeded it to United States Government National Parks Service who took possesion after she died. It became a museum and is part of the Fire Island National Seashore.
