The eastern portion dates to about 1700 and the western portion to about 1750, built by the Fleet family.","why_significant":"It is one of a small group of early settlement dwellings in Huntington and one of the few buildings in the Centerport area tied to its early settlement. It keeps an early eighteenth century plan and interior finishes and trim. Its late nineteenth-century Victorian additions reflect Centerport's growth into a waterfront village, and it is associated with the locally prominent Fleet family of marine and harborfront enterprises.","narrative":"Sitting on a half-acre lot at 138 Cove Road in Huntington Beach, this two and one-half story, seven-bay shingled house dates to about 1700 in its eastern section, with the western section added around 1750. The Fleet family built it. Cove Road is one of the area's oldest thoroughfares, running from Huntington Harbor toward the Centerport Harbor shoreline. The house kept its early eighteenth century plan, interior finishes and trim, even after changes in the later nineteenth century. Those changes included a central shingled cross-gable with a round-arched window and a shed-roofed front porch on turned posts with scroll-sawn corner braces, reflecting Centerport's shift from an isolated settlement to a busy waterfront village. The house is also linked to the Fleet family, locally known for marine and harborfront businesses; nearby Fleet's Cove carries their name. It remains a residence in excellent condition and is one of the few surviving reminders of the community's earliest settlement.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; builder: Fleet family","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a residence, as it was originally; condition marked excellent, with no known threats and no outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.671992-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002538.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002538/6bfe7d88bf-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002538/6bfe7d88bf-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Aajer","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jarvis_Fleet_House,_Cove_Road,_Huntington_N.Y._7_2010_095.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Aajer</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:Jarvis_Fleet_House,_Cove_Road,_Huntington_N.Y._7_2010_095.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314889","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarvis-Fleet_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6161206"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/jarvis-fleet-house-85002538/"}
