I remember when this was built some time in the late seventies - I'm guessing. it was such a big deal because it was thought of as a skyscraper, unusual for these parts. my husband just told me the original plan was to build four of them.
today super sized strip malls surround it.
Louis -- there are 4 of them, but the one here on LI was the first. Lily -- since this hamlet and I are about the same age, I remember when there wasn't a single mature tree to be found there. Not crazy about our strip malls, but like it that there aren't a lot of tall buildings on LI.
I thought Levittown was a complex of small one family homes ...
Down in FL where my parents had their condo there were 2 kinds of buildings .. garden apartments which were two stories tall and high rises which were 4 stories tall . the high rises looked like what I thought/imagined military barracks looked like.. my aunt was highly insulted when I told her that.

Have a happy weekend!
All those big malls make me sad. I long for little old fashioned mom and pop stores.
All the best
