The original gambrel-roofed house dates to about 1748, with a large early nineteenth-century addition to the east.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as one of the earliest surviving buildings in Westhampton and the long-time Jagger family homestead. Family members held prominent roles as tanner, justice and religious leader. The original house is described as the least altered example of its type in central Long Island, and its second-floor bedroom is a rare eighteenth-century survival.","narrative":"Set on a wooded two-acre lot along Old Montauk Highway in Westhampton, this frame house combines a mid-eighteenth-century gambrel-roofed dwelling, dated by town records to 1748, with a larger early nineteenth-century addition. Wood shingles cover the walls, and a small brick outbuilding stands beside the addition. Inside the original house, a well-preserved second-floor bedroom with plaster and simple wood paneling is described as a rare eighteenth-century survival. The house served as the Jagger family homestead for more than two hundred years. Jonathan Jagger bought land in 1713 and set up a tannery. His son Stephen, a justice whose jurisdiction covered much of eastern Long Island, used the house for official business. Stephen's son Deacon Enoch Jagger made it a religious gathering place. Family papers found in the attic in 1977 document this history. The original house is considered the least altered example of its type in central Long Island.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular gambrel-roofed side-hall house with Neoclassical trim","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied and used as a private residence; the addition's second floor has been extensively altered, and two wooden sheds at the rear are deteriorated.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.058145-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/78001920.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322154","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagger_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6122559"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/jagger-house-78001920/"}
