Bonwit Inn and the Motor Parkway
		William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. held his first motorcar race in 1904 and with in a few years was building his own Motor Parkway. When not in use for racing the road was open to the public through tolls. Commack Road was known as one of the getting on points and so a Toll House was built at the intersection.
							The signpost is long gone but the information is still the same <-New York 44mi ->Lake Ronkonkoma 10mi
		Henry Shea's Aunt Sadie is caught hanging around on the corner of Motor Parkway with two friends from Brooklyn in 1912.
							Later the tavern was taken over and became Heinie's. Today most people know it as the Bonwit Inn. The chimney of the old tavern can still be seen on the top of the roof to the left.
		Sometime during the 1930's the Toll House was torn down and the Deer Head Tavern was built in its place. The tavern was a one large open room with a fireplace at each end and a bar the length of the back wall. The family who kept the tavern lived upstairs.
