Suydam House
Suydam House

Suydam House (also known as Suydam Homestead) is a historic home in Centerport in Suffolk County, New York. It was built about 1730 and is a rectangular, five-bay, 1+1⁄2-story saltbox type building with a one-story wing. It features a steeply pitched, asymmetrical gable roof, pierced by a brick chimney.The house is on Suffolk County Parkland on the southeast corner of Suffolk County Road 86 and New York State Route 25A, across from the southern terminus of Little Neck Road. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.The Greenlawn-Centerport Historical Association has restored the house and operates it as a historic house museum. Of particular note are the unusual windows, both six panes over three, and four panes over two. Its NRHP nomination from 1988 asserts:The Suydam house is architecturally and historically significant as a distinguished, largely extant example of settlement period domestic architecture on Long Island that recalls the early growth of the town of Huntington. Built circa 1730, this New England style saltbox (with eighteenth century wing) is one of the oldest remaining houses in the village of Centerport. It is similar in plan, construction and design to many settlement period dwellings in Huntington (Town) such as the John Wood House (circa 1704) and the Ireland-Gardiner Farm (circa 1750). Like these and other seventeenth and eighteenth century dwellings in the Huntington (Town) Multiple Resource area, the building exhibits characteristic architectural features of early construction practices on Long Island, including heavy hewn timber framing, original wrought-iron hardware, and an overall lack of decorative ornamentation.

Centerport, New York

Centerport is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Suffolk County, New York, United States, on the notably affluent North Shore of Long Island, historically known as the Gold Coast. Formerly known as Little Cow Harbor in about 1700, as Centerport in 1836, and as Centerport after 1895, the name refers to its geographic position midway between the east and west boundaries of the town of Huntington.As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP population was 5,508. It is located in the town of Huntington. Huntington and its surrounding hamlets mark the east end of Long Island's renowned "Gold Coast", the name deriving from the traditional wealth and gentility associated with the area. The association dates back to the early twentieth century in which many affluent families built their homes along the north shore of the island. In Centerport, an example of this is the estate of William Kissam Vanderbilt II, otherwise known as Eagles Nest. Centerport is highly residential, characterized by winding driveways and beachfront hills. As is common among the many beachfront locations on Long Island's North Shore, Centerport has developed a large boating and sailing culture. An important part of this culture is the Centerport Yacht Club, which was founded in 1947 and has served as the social and athletic focal point for the boating community in both Centerport and its surrounding areas. The yacht club sponsors a variety of racing fleets and regattas every year generally beginning in the late spring and ending mid-autumn. Suydam House, built in 1730, a saltbox house, is one of the oldest surviving houses in Centerport.
