Building-Structure Inventory Form

Return to Sites Table of Contents

Unless indicated below, this is a transcript of the original Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities/Town of Brookhaven survey form. Since most of the surveys were conducted in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, much of the information reflects that time period.

Corrections to obvious typographical and spelling errors have been made. Corrections to factual errors in the original surveys, and updates or comments on the information are either enclosed in [square brackets], or are clearly indicated as updated material from the context of the comments.

Sites which have a suffix of “S” are supplemental sites not included in the original surveys.

Other Notable Features of Building and Site

Probably J. Ryder on 1858 map; otherwise one of several at this site at the time marked but unidentified.

Significance

before 1858 [Current owners have copies of deeds dating to 1835. It is their belief that the house was built about 1780.]

Historic and Architectural Importance

1 1/2 story, 3 bay, side entrance plan, gable roof house with 1 story gable roof wing on east. Original entranceway with pilasters. 9/6 windows on first floor. Very typical of the type first built in the area and of which few remain unaltered. This is a very important rare survivor.
