    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Established in 1888 by Thomas Terry and located in his home on Terryville Road, it is now the site of the Mevlana Mosque.  The first postmaster was Preston Terry, son of Scudder H. Terry.  The hamlet was first named Terrytown but was quickly changed to Terryville. We speculate it was in an effort to avoid confusion with Tarrytown in upstate New York.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An aerial view of the Thomas Wilson Lace Mill. The mill, started in 1839, was recognized as the country&#039;s oldest lace house in the 1950’s. It manufactured lingerie, evening dresses and surgical stockings. The mill was also responsible for the surgical leotards worn by the first astronauts to land on the moon. They were designed to minimize vascular problems upon reentry. The company also built 30 homes adjacent to the mill to house workers, called Westport. Note the sawtooth roof portion of the building which was the Loper Brothers factory that made several important and innovative automobiles in the first quarter of the 20th century.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This photograph by Arthur S. Greene is of the Unit Brick &amp; Tile Company, which was located east of Union Street and south of the LIRR tracks in Port Jefferson Station. The plant opened in 1910 and manufactured U-shaped, concrete blocks made of sand, gravel and Portland cement. U-shaped blocks were used to allow the construction of bond beams or lintel assemblies. This was vital to the building of secure structures. The Factory closed in 1916 and the land on which it once stood is now a state Department of Transportation maintenance yard.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Unit Brick &amp; Tile Company]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This pioneering company was located east of Union Street just south of the LIRR tracks in Port Jefferson Station. The factory opened in 1910 and was one of the largest concerns of its kind on Long Island. It could manufacture 12,600 U-shaped concrete blocks (size - 10&quot;x8&quot;x2&quot;) in a day. The emerging use of these fireproof concrete bricks was considered more economical and safe than wood construction. Several buildings and homes on Long Island were constructed of these unit bricks and some still stand today. One can be found at the east end of Hallock Avenue on the north side, as well as the Garden City post office]]></dcterms:description>
