LAKE RONKONKOMA, NY The historic building in Lake Ronkonkoma that housed hardware store Agnew & Taylor for over a century is finally undergoing renovation. The hardware store, opened in 1898, closed its doors in 2017. Now, NY Cancer & Blood Specialists have signed a 15-year lease on the property at Hawkins Ave. and Portion Rd.
The building is a Brookhaven Town historic landmark. Evelyn Vollgraff is with the Ronkonkoma Historical Society and she tells Patch that the renovation plans are taking the historical significance of the site into account. They showed the renderings to the Historical Society and they are working with the Brookhaven Historical Department since the building is a Brookhaven Landmark, she reported.
