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

Significance

[likely before 1930, as the 1930 census lists their residency on Beaverdam Rd. at a location consistent with the present house.]

[Vernon S. Tiger, partner with Walter E. Corrigan in the large Tiger Nursery farm that stretched from their homes on Beaverdam Rd. south to the marshes of the bay. Corrigan's home has Historic Site ID Br26A.]

Historic and Architectural Importance

Large, 2 1/2 story, 5 bay, center entrance, gable roof house with a formal façade on north and south. Georgian details and the adoption of a Colonial aspect create the bond between building and road here.
