The Noah Hallock House
The Noah Hallock Homestead is located on the west side of Hallock Landing Road, near the beach. The 18th century farmhouse was built in 1721 by Noah Hallock, 1st. It became the home to eight generations of
Hallocks and is today privately owned.
Forty members of the Hallock family are buried at the little cemetery on
Hallock Lane. The oldest tombstone, dated 1766, is that of Bethia, wife
of Noah Hallock.

RCA Radio Central
On November 5, 1921, President Warren C. Harding pressed a button in
Washington, DC, which started the generators at RCA Radio Central in
Rocky Point. RCA became the world's largest and most powerful wireless
transmitting station.
The Marconi Building
In 1902, Guglielmo Marconi beamed a transoceanic
wireless radio message from this small building in Babylon to a ship at
sea. 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.
