Built in 1895 for Homer W. Reboul, it includes a main house, a carriage barn, a pump house and a formal garden.","why_significant":"The estate is significant as an early work of Long Island architect Isaac H. Green, Jr., and for its Dutch Colonial Revival gambrel-roofed design. It embodies the large, water-oriented Stony Brook Harbor estate type and represents the turn-of-the-century transformation of the harbor from a rural area to an enclave of affluent summer residents.","narrative":"Woodcrest is a country estate on a wooded, secluded site above Stony Brook Harbor in Nissequogue, New York. Its two-story shingled house was built in 1895 for Homer W. Reboul, a New York City merchant, and designed by Long Island architect Isaac H. Green, Jr. The long, narrow house combines two gambrel roof types, an English-derived form on the main block and a Dutch-type form on the service wing. Its Doric-columned porches and principal rooms face the water, and the interior keeps Colonial Revival mantels, a butler's pantry and an original hot air furnace. A carriage barn, an octagonal pump house and remnants of a formal garden survive. The estate has shrunk from 100 acres to about 30. It is significant as an early example of Green's work and as a representative of the harbor estates built in the decade or so around 1900, when wealthy New Yorkers turned a rural shoreline into a summer retreat.","period_of_significance":"1895","architect_builder":"Isaac H.
