Historic preservationists have asked Southampton Town to landmark the Shinnecock Hills home that once belonged to Grosvenor Atterbury, but not where it stands now. The site is adjacent to Sugar Loaf hill, sacred ground to the Shinnecock Nation that used the region's highest points as burial grounds for centuries. MICHAEL WRIGHT
