Egan & Golden Law & McGiff Halverson Law Building (96-98 South Ocean Avenue) housed New York Telephone Co. and its switchboard operations from 1918-1956. Size and shape of windows and doors on the original half of today’s building remain nearly identical to the old New York Telephone Co. facade. 96-98 South Ocean Avenue was recently remodeled, as were many business facades you will see on the tour. Older, smaller bricks, or missing or repaired mortar between bricks, can announce that a building is older than it appears. Two of the many new condominium projects in Patchogue are to the left.
