Lawrence Aviation Industries, Inc. (Lawrence Aviation) was an aircraft parts manufacturer that made titanium parts for military aircraft, such as the Grumman F-14 fighter jet. The former owner of the company, Gerald Cohen, was sentenced to one year and a day in prison and ordered to pay $105,816 in restitution for illegally storing more than 12 tons of hazardous waste on the company's grounds. The former site of the company, in the hamlet of Port Jefferson Station, Town of Brookhaven, New York, is one of the most contaminated sites on Long Island and may be responsible for a toxic groundwater plume in the region. The site is bounded by the Long Island Railroad tracks and Sheep Pasture Road to the north. A Long Island Power Authority easement runs along the southern edge of the property, separating the site from a residential area. To the east and west are residential areas.

First National Bank of Port Jefferson
First National Bank of Port Jefferson

First National Bank of Port Jefferson is a historic bank building located at Port Jefferson in Suffolk County, New York. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building with a 2-story turret that projects from the second story of the southwest corner and rises above the roof line. The turret has a steeply pitched, cone shaped slate roof and three windows on both levels. The main entrance to the building used to be directly below the turret, but was made into a window around 1949 when a 1-story brick, flat-roofed addition was built on the east side of the bank building. In 1948, the building ceased being used for a bank and was purchased by the Town of Brookhaven, who completed the 1-story addition the following year.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. In 2010, the building was owned by the Town of Brookhaven and used as their tax collector's office. In 2011, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame was slated to open inside the building, at the time only existing as a website. Brookhaven town officials announced an agreement for a 15-year lease at the site. The hall of fame never came to fruition.In 2013, a collectible ten-dollar bill issued by the First National Bank of Port Jefferson was put up for auction on EBay for about $5,000.The building was unoccupied for many years, until in 2016, the buildings interior was remodeled to include first floor retail space and two luxury residential apartments on the second floor. The retail space currently hosts the store Kate & Hale, which opened in 2017.
