Furman Square has been here forever, but was officially named and dedicated in 1993. It lies on the West side of South Ocean Avenue, just below Main Street (between Dragon and Phoenix Resturant (http://www.yelp.com/biz/dragon-and-phoenix-restaurant-patchogue#hrid:IVd-2YqxaIkZsNTd40EU6Q?fsid=9OcBmmLwE7sEZyvxsCEX-A) and Jimmy's Quality Shoe Repairing). The Square has a bench, a tree, some kind of Village Marker, and a one-way traffic inlet into the Church Street Municipal Parking Field. There is an unremarkable mural on the wall to the North, but the true attraction here is the Hans Gabali painting on the Southern wall. It features old-timey sights of South Ocean Avenue (see pics): 1. A dedication for the Incorporated Village Centennial. 2. Imagery of the (now bygone) Suffolk Traction Company. 3. The old Academy Street School (which is also gone). 4. An early Twentieth Century depiction of the Southeast buildings of the Four Corners. 5. The (still-there) Methodist Church (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/U1-bhlcgRzGn7vQQzDBlPw?select=Ju0C1UqSeC40VwyY_JSvRw). 6. Colby's Ice Cream Parlor (formerly on the corner of South Ocean and Smith St., now relocated) 7. (What I assume is) The old Mascot Dock and Public Bathing Beach. It's a great mural and Patchogue is lucky to have a Gabali piece of such a historic and personal nature. read more
