There were no fire boats at the time so there was no way of putting out the fire. The stone base of the house and several stone fire places that were inside the house still remains on the island to this day and can be accessed by a clear-watered beach on its north shore. Its south shore is very rocky and slippery, it is very easy to slip and not be able to get up. The island is located between Cove Island and Cummings Park
both of which are in Stamford
