It is also one of few surviving intact historic properties in Centerport, an area not heavily developed until the mid-twentieth century. The surviving barn reflects the property's agricultural use.","narrative":"Built around 1850 on Little Neck Road in Centerport, this modest house consists of two one-and-a-half-story, three-bay gable-roofed sections constructed at the same time. The eastern section has a side entrance sheltered by a shed-roofed porch, and a central chimney rises from the roof. The slightly set-back western wing has a screened porch and an end chimney. Timber framing, clapboard siding, frieze windows and multi-pane double-hung sash windows reflect long-established building practice in Huntington, which had been settled in 1653. A late nineteenth-century barn, later converted to a garage and joined to the house by a glass breezeway in the 1970s, recalls the site's farming past. The house matters as one of the latest examples of traditional local construction and as one of the few intact historic properties in Centerport, which saw little development until the mid-twentieth century. It is named for John Harned, an early twentieth-century owner, and little else is known of its history.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent on the inventory form; the barn was converted to a garage in the early twentieth century and a glass-enclosed breezeway was added around 1970.
