Snouder’s Corner Drug Store, Oyster Bay, NY
The oldest continuously operated business in Oyster Bay. Here in 1887 Andrew Snouder installed the very first telephone in Oyster Bay. Even Sagamore Hill did not have a phone, so messages would be sent up the hill to then Governor and later President Roosevelt. Installation of a soda fountain in 1889 helped make this a center of social life for several decades. Sensitive restoration in the 1990s returned the building to its original colors.
