Once a summer resort, Amityville attracted families who wanted to escape the crowds and the heat of the city. Several grand hotels were built along the Great South Bay, the most famous of which was Hotel New Point. Local carpenters from Haff, Ketchum, Purdy, Sprague, Smith, Wasner, Weed and Wicks families helped to build New Point. The hotel was three and a half stories high and had 60 guest rooms, a large veranda, a bathing beach with bathhouses and a carriage house. It was a scheduled stagecoach stop on the Powell Livery schedule from the Amityville Railroad Station. In 1916, an auction was conducted to sell the contents of the hotel. Afterward the building was used for fund-raisers and as a camp – first the New York Herlad Tribune Fresh Air Camp and the, in its last days, the Meroke Day Camp.
