Long Island Good Hearted Thespian Society (LIGHTS) Clubhouse opened in 1916, located on Fairview Avenue and Branch Avenue. The building was 110 feet by 54 feet and featured porches that were 14 feet wide. The lighthouse rose to a height of 66 feet. The club was open to anyone involved in theatrical pursuits. Among the 543 charter members were many entertainment stars of the day who summered in Freeport.
In the 2000s, the Freeport Landmarks Preservation Commission dedicated a roadside marker near the site of this club.
