I've sketched at The Grange in Sayville many time, but I don't think I did a close-up of the carriage house before. The Town of Islip is responsible for the upkeep of the property, and they have really let things go. There is a big opening through the back of the structure and many, many holes in the roof. It is a shame that they haven't taken better care of the buildings.
The other night the Patchogue Sketch Club met at The Grange in Sayville. I've sketched there many times before and have drawn most of the buildings several times. This time my focus was on the carriage house, which as you can tell needs a lot of TLC. The Town of Islip has been really negligent in taking care of these old buildings and if something isn't done soon some of them will be too far gone to save.
