First National Bank of Port Jefferson

Location
  
Main and East Main Sts., Port Jefferson, New York

First National Bank of Port Jefferson is a historic bank building located at Port Jefferson in Suffolk County, New York. It is a 2 12-story brick building with a 2-story turret that projects from the second story of the southwest corner and rises above the roofline. 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.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building is now the home of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame which eventually plans to open a museum there.
