It was built in the late 1860s (dated circa 1860 in the form) on a lot of about one acre.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally significant as one of the most intact surviving mid-nineteenth century middle-class village residences in Amagansett. It combines a traditional three-bay side-entrance plan with Italianate details and keeps an unusually intact interior. It is also tied to a settlement-period family and remains a well-known local landmark in contrast to the modern business district.","narrative":"Built in the late 1860s on Amagansett's broad Main Street, this two-story frame house sits at the eastern end of the village's small business district. It has a three-bay main block, a smaller west wing, gable roofs, clapboard siding and two front porches with Italianate details, including wide eaves and brackets. Inside, moulded trim, wood mantels, original floors and the floor plan remain largely intact. The first owner, Jeremiah Baker, descended from East Hampton's first settlers and ran a daily stagecoach line to Sag Harbor from 1859 until 1901; the stage also carried local mail. The house is thought to be the work of local builder George Eldridge the Elder. It was valued as one of the most intact examples of a mid-nineteenth century village home in Amagansett, and as a rare reminder of the community's earlier character amid second homes and a summer resort setting. Mature trees, a picket fence and a rear shed add to its setting.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Attributed to George Eldridge (the Elder)","architectural_style":"Italianate details on a traditional three-bay side-entrance plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence on its original site, described as unaltered; the form notes a non-historic two-car garage at the rear.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.073357-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84002999.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002999/fecd0ed7a9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002999/fecd0ed7a9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Americasroof (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pleasant-house.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Americasroof (talk)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pleasant-house.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322206","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasants_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7204137"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/pleasants-house-84002999/"}
