Only the building on the far north side of the property has survived, this being the building which currently sits on the property next to the Lindenhurst Motel. The motel was most likely constructed close to its first appearance in the Green Book in 1963. This entire property appears on the NYSHPO CRIS database, with a USN Number of 10340.000373. However, as of 2023 no information about ownership could be found from CRIS, the census or advertisements.
