Its mid-nineteenth century remodeling, with Victorian-era details, reflects Huntington's shift from an isolated farming settlement to a prosperous village.","narrative":"Located on Park Avenue in the village of Huntington, the Isaac Losee House is a one and one-half story clapboard dwelling with a gable roof. The south portion was built around 1750 and the north portion around 1842. It is one of only nine surviving eighteenth-century settlement period houses in the town and recalls the early days of the community. Although altered in the nineteenth century, it keeps its overall plan, exterior sheathing and various interior finishes from the settlement period. Later changes added a central projecting cross-gable with a pointed-arched window, a bay window and a shed-roofed porch with square columns, all in a simple Victorian manner. These changes reflect Huntington's growth from an isolated agrarian settlement into a prosperous village. The original section is believed to have been the home of Isaac Losee, about whom little is known. Locally the house is called the Abel Conklin-Johnson House, after two later owners. It still serves as a residence and sits across from a large modern hospital complex.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in fair condition, on its original site, and still used as a residence; no threats to the building are known.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.489236-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002582.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002582/c475d456d9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002582/c475d456d9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Muncharelli","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Isaac_Losee_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Muncharelli</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:Isaac_Losee_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314943","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Losee_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6076707"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/losee-isaac-house-85002582/"}
