It’s Leg 2 of the NYC Volvo-thon

She packed up the rest of her stuff, said goodbye to the College, and we caught the 8 pm ferry to Port Jefferson , with Dog.

I'm curious what this building is and especially was. Solid brick walls, no storefront, Maybe an old fire station with a single door? And next to what was likely an elegant rowhouse. Are there neighborhood historical societies with info on the building stock?

Interesting isn’t it? It caught my eye. That RO and X box means unsafe to enter, so I won’t be venturing forth.

Is this a good or bad area? Looks sketchy to me, but I don't know anything about cities.
