  The Potato Barn Revival: Honoring History with a Modern Touch by Steven Mezynieski Bringing the Potato Barn Back to Life: A Fresh Take on Heritage by Steven Mezynieski I’m Steven Mezynieski, and I want to share a project that means a lot to me, the restoration of an old potato barn on County Road 39 in Tuckahoe, New York. This barn holds more than just structure. It’s a part of Long Island’s farming heritage. Decades ago, it supported local potato farmers, with a unique pebble road leading to the top floor where crops were unloaded.

  How Steven Mezynieski Helped Bring Montauk’s Shoreline Back to Life Ditch Plain Beach in Montauk, New York, has long been more than just a beautiful stretch of sand. It’s a beloved surf spot, a gathering place for locals, and a symbol of Long Island’s rugged coastal charm. But in early 2024, this cherished shoreline faced a serious threat. After being battered by three consecutive nor’easters, the beach suffered heavy erosion, leaving homes, roads, and the local ecosystem dangerously exposed. With floodwaters rising and the structural integrity of the coastline at risk, the community had a decision to make: wait and hope or act quickly to protect the place they love. That’s when we at Southampton Excavation, led by founder Steven Mezynieski, were called in to help. And we answered fast.   Emergency Coastal Resilience in Action The urgency of the situation couldn’t be overstated. Coastal roads were flooding. Backyards were disappearing. The very landscape that defined Montauk...
