Another Hollins' house, that of Robert L. Hollins, was part of a 17-acre estate which remained on the border of Hecksher State Park until the 1980s. This land had been purchased from the Nichol estate by HB Hollins Jr. in 1906 and was the site of one of the earliest settlements in Islip Town. It includes an old house, part of which had been an older structure on the "Nichol Farm", a small barn, and a grounds keeper's house built on the foundation of an 18th-century ice house. Replete with a small damn and ice pond, the area had been a self-sufficient working farm until the last Nichol passed away at the turn of the 20th century. The Hollins family used this land as late as the 1960s for duck hunting and a private road connected it to HB Hollins Jrs nearby Crick Holly estate. by the 1990s the land and remaining buildings were part of Hecksher State Park and will not suffer the development of the Hollins's other holdings.
