Description: New Rochelle, NEW YORK - Neptune Island: Neptune Island is an island in Long Island Sound and part of the City of New Rochelle, New York. The island is connected to the mainland by stone causeway over which Neptune Road passes. A dam at the east end of the peninsula creates a small pond, while its west shore edges the Neptune Basin inlet. The island was originally included in the "Commons" of the Town and, following the end of the American Revolution, it came under the ownership of Anthony Lispenard Bleecker. In 1828, it was purchased by William Turpin, who named it "Moses Island". It was during Turpin's ownership that the present road and causeway were built, connecting the island with the mainland, and a steamboat dock was built at the end of that road. In 1837, Isaac Underhill and his wife Deborah built the "Neptune House" summer resort hotel. The large white frame structure located in the center of the wooded island became so popular that the island was later named after it. Some of the early steamboats that shuttled individuals between New Rochelle and New York City from the Neptune House Dock were the "American Eagle", "Croton", "Economy", and "Island City". In 1876, the Neptune House was also the terminal of Colonel DeLancey Kane's "Tally Ho" coach running daily between New Rochelle and the Brunswick Hotel in New York City. This Undivided Back Era (1901-07) postcard is in good condition, but has a crease to its upper right hand corner and some soiling. Rosch.
