The wing dates to about 1720, the main house to 1770, and it was remodeled in 1816.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant under Criteria A and C for its link to early settlement patterns on Long Island's northeast shore and for building forms typical of the area. It began as a small early-eighteenth-century house and was enlarged and updated as the Hopkins family prospered. Its Federal (Adam) style remodeling of 1816 and its farm and harbor setting reflect farming and shipping life in Miller Place.","narrative":"This residence on a bluff near Mount Sinai Harbor in Miller Place, Long Island, grew in stages. Its one-and-one-half story east wing dates to about 1720 and was built with an adjacent barn. Samuel Hopkins bought the property in 1758, divided the old house, moved part of it, and kept the remainder as the farm homestead. A larger two-story Georgian section was added in 1770, and in 1816 the whole house was updated in the Adam or Federal style with new windows, entrances and moldings. Notable features include an elliptical fanlight over the south door, original fireplaces and elaborate moldings. The wood-shingled house stands with a barn, smokehouse, outhouse and well from the farm. The Hopkins family farmed here and took part in shipping from the harbor, and the farm once covered 1,100 acres. The house is cited as typical of Brookhaven homes that began small and were enlarged over time. It later served as a rental and summer residence.","period_of_significance":"1720-1938","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Federal/Adamesque","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a residence; the form lists residential as its current function.
