[LEFT] A brief History: Coindre Hall, formerly known as the French renaissance style mansion of pharmaceutical magnate of George McKesson Brown sits at 101 Browns Road in Huntington, NY. After 6 years of construction, Coindre Hall was completed. The residence boasted an indoor pool, servants’ quarters, a boathouse, gatehouse, and stable. A member of Long Island high society, McKesson belonged to two yacht clubs and the New York Horticultural Society. During the Stock Market Crash of 1929 George McKesson lost his fortune and with it his chateau. During prohibition, the boating house and underground tunnels were used by bootleggers to smuggle illegal alcohol.[/LEFT]
[LEFT] Ownership of the property then went to the Brothers of Sacred Heart who turned it into a boarding school and summer retreat. They also renamed the location Coindre Hall in honor of the late Father Andre’ Coindre. They ran the school until it closed in 1971. Then through the mid-1980s the building was the Eagle Hill School. The school specialized in teaching students with learning disabilities. Coindre Hall is now a multipurpose venue specializing in weddings. In 1973 Coindre Hall Park was placed under the control of the Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Conservation. Then in 1985 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Haunted History: Visitors to Coindre Hall have reported strange occurrences. Some people have claimed to see figures in vintage clothing moving about the building.

Its on browns road.

Used to do outside hardwood flooring maintenance here 10-15 years ago when Friends of Long Island Heritage oversaw the property. Now the town runs maintenance.

They had a tunnel that went to an old the boat house from the main house bc the originally the owner didn't want to walk down that big back lawn in the cold. I believe it collapsed years ago.

Never saw any dead people, and if you ask me Oheka was alot more creepy and haunted back in the late 70's - early 80's when it was abandoned.

....not that I was ever inside that castle or anything when it was, but I grew up 5 mins away

Years ago the theater group of Huntington used the place for storage of costumes and props. Maybe someone saw an actor with a costume on.

I've never heard of it being haunted. John Brown, the original owner, was a friend of my grandfather's back in the 1960's and prior to then - I remember him from when I was a child. A very nice man who ended up living in our neighborhood where we currently reside.

They Coindre Hall was used by some gangster called the Beer Baron of The Bronx to boot leg rum smuggled in from Cuba through secret under ground tunnels and thats where the gangster buried millions of dollars in cash diamonds and stocks some where on the property. Last time over their last year i seen some people with head set metal detectors. I'm going to try and find the tunnels from the Boat House see what happens!!
