Nearby, in a clearing, stood a sturdy house, newly built of white oak timber from the surrounding forest. Shiploads of tiles and chimney bricks from Holland and household furnishings from England and Barbados had arrived during the preceding months. The Sylvesters would make Shelter Island their home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the years that followed the Sylvesters' arrival, many families settled along these tranquil shores. Homesteads were built, farmland was cleared and cultivated, and businesses were established. Many boats sailed the area's sparkling inlets and bays, and guests to the area created a need for grand hotels and gingerbread cottages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShelter Island: A Nostalgic Journey takes us to early homes, churches, and stores, and introduces us to the people who shaped this community.
