Most of the numerous buildings on John Huntington's estate either do no longer exist or have been converted for other uses. Under mysterious circumstances, Huntington's massive cottage burned to the ground in the 1920s. His barns and stables were converted to a playhouse for summer productions. The cozy 2-story home of his caretaker now houses galleries, classrooms, a library, pottery studios and administration offices for BAYarts.
Yet Huntington's water system still exists. A red brick pump house (with a sculpted capital "H") is still intact on the shore. Also, the most recognized landmark on the Huntington Reservation, the water tower (not a lighthouse), designed by Huntington to look like an oil derrick, still towers over the property.
