About Long Beach
Long Beach became a village in 1913 and re-incorporated as a city in 1922, which took it out of the Town of Hempstead.
Developer William H. Reynolds, who bought the island in 1907, made buyers build in a Mediterranean look, with white stucco walls and red clay tile roofs; the rule was lifted after his company went bankrupt in 1918.
The West End is known for small bungalows and some large houses set close together on narrow streets.
The House at 226 West Penn Street serves as the Long Beach Historical & Preservation Society Museum.
What This Means for Your Long Beach Chimney
Wind, rain and salt air
Near open water, wind drives rain sideways into the chimney and salt air corrodes metal caps and flashing faster. A sturdy cap and sound flashing keep water out of the flue and the masonry. Read: Does My Chimney Need a Cap?

Half of the homes in Long Beach were built before 1958, and 24.1% date from before 1940, so a good share of chimneys here were built to older standards, with clay tile liners and crowns that are now decades old. With about 83 freezing nights a year in Nassau County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
