Welcome to Patchogue, “Queen City of Long Island’s South Shore.”

The Patchogue-Medford Library’s Celia M. Hasting Local History Room celebrates Patchogue’s history and architecture in this walking tour.

Thanks to ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) for the open source software allowing for the digital version of this tour. Thanks to Gary Lutz for transforming ACMI’s tour into this cell phone audio tour. Thanks to Mark Rothenberg for all the Local History assistance and delineating the larger historical context of local history. Carrie Locke wrote and reads Patchogue’s downtown walking tour.

Artspace (20 Terry Street) provides live/work spaces for artists and their families. The 2011 Artspace building features Patchogue Arts Council and Plaza Cinema & Media Arts Center, bringing arthouse films to central Suffolk residents. HHL Architects of Buffalo described their building as “Mondrianesque exteriors of plain brown brick…to recall the Village’s commercial history…with steel-edged glass panels for a modern look.”
