Its backbone is Sagaponack Main Street, with parts of six side streets. The area began as the first lots of the Sagaponack Division of Southampton in 1653, and the street plan, burying ground and common from the late seventeenth century remain. The earliest surviving house is thought to date to 1692. Later houses reflect Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Shingle and Colonial Revival styles. After the Long Island Rail Road arrived in 1870, summer visitors came, and boarding houses and second homes were added. Barns, potato storage buildings, worker housing and open fields record the farming economy. The district includes 131 contributing buildings, a school built in 1885, a general store and post office, and a burying ground. Unsubdivided farmland is included to show the historic rural setting, which faces development pressure.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"James Ware and Sons of New York City (\"Winnecoma,\" 1899); most other buildings by local builders or unknown","architectural_style":"Colonial/Postmedieval English, Federal, Greek and Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow/Shingle Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still largely residential and agricultural; the school and general store/post office remain in use.
