Coastal developments like Nassau Shores and Biltmore Shores illustrate the era's suburban expansion toward the Great South Bay. Marine industry and recreation are evident at the Homans Boat Mfg Plant and the Unqua Yacht Club, while the interior shows institutional history at the N Y State Poor Farm.
