Marconi Building

The 12" x 14' structure was originally located on Fire Island Avenue in Babylon. Rocky Point's RCA Radio Central received this historic building as a gift from Major Edwin Armstrong. The building is currently located on "Marconi Blvd" (Yaphank-Rocky Point Road) in front of the Frank J. Carasiti School in Rocky Point.
