Interesting "Free Frank" marking.
Georgica station is believed to have first been built in 1856 on a site "one mile south of the village of East Hampton." The description of the location later changed to "on ocean side of Long Island, twelve and five-eighths miles east-northeast of Shinnecock Light." It was "reconstructed and enlarged" in 1886. During the hurricane of September, 1938, the station’s beach boathouse was destroyed, the garage damaged, and the station was flooded. Like many others, it remained in commission through the Second World War and then was decommissioned. The station disappeared from the list of stations in January 1948. The property was turned over to GSA in 1955; the property was subsequently sold to the village of East Hampton to be used for a public park and recreational purposes.
