Once-Beautiful Old House Could Be Demolished In Shirley

SHIRLEY, NY — A blighted property that was once a centerpiece of the neighborhood could be heading for demolition in Shirley.

Brookhaven Town Councilman Dan Panico said a long-vacant property, located at the corner of Baybright Drive and William Floyd Property, will be the focus of a public hearing on March 25, with both demolition and cleanup discussed.

Residents turned to social media to share memories of the parcel.

"This house used to be one of the most beautiful in the area," Panico wrote.

"It was a lovely, huge home," one woman agreed.

And, said another woman on Facebook: "It's such a shame it fell into ruin."
