Smithtown Township Arts Council

Long Island Region
Details

Smithtown Township Arts Council (STAC) is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) community cultural organization that exists to integrate the arts into the fabric of everyday life in Smithtown Township. The noted New York City architect, Calvin Pollard, designed the Greek Revival Mills Pond house in 1838 for William Wickham Mills. Like his client, Pollard was born in 1797 and was raised in upstate New York, but found success in the big city. Mills descended from a long line of wealthy Long Island farmers who gave the name Mills Pond to an area known to the Indians as Cuttscunsuck ("two small ponds"). Mills Pond House preserves the locality's name, but departs from tradition in other respects. Its high-style Grecian design is unusual on Long Island and the hand of an accomplished architect is nearly unique at this early date.
