The inside of Longwood Estate, run by Brookhaven Town, is very informal. The community has access for multiple functions.
Women clubs, Boy Scouts, etc.

There were at least 2 bedrooms on the main floor, each with their own fireplace.

There was this big wooden box like object with pipes coming out of it on the 3rd floor. I could only assume it was used for holding water.

The lady working there let me have the run of the house. I only had a limited time since she had to close up early. She also was gracious enough to make me copies of the Smith family genealogy starting with col. William "Tangier" Smith.
