INTERRELATIONSHIP OF BUILDING AND SURROUNDINGS: (Indicate if building or structure is in an historic district) The Tuthill-Wickham House (and outbuildings) is a well known landmark, and the subject of numerous renderings by local artists. It is located in an historic village with numerous other 18th qnd 19th century houses, and about 1/8 mile from "The Old House", built 1649, a registered National Historic Landmark. _L8_ QTHER NOTABLE F�Aj (including interior features if known): , , �RE � OF BUI.�DING AND SITE The oder one-an -a a sUry half of the house is built around a multiple-flue 6-ft-square central chimney, which opens into 3 fireplaces on the first floor and one in the cellar. The kitchen fireplace, almost 5 ft wide and containing a beehive oven, is very similar to the kitchen fireplace in the Thomas Moore House in Southold. Rooms in this sectior have original wide-board horizontal wainscoting. The old wash house has original plaster walls. SIGNIFICANCE 19. DATE OF INITIAL C0NSTRLJCTION:AlthoW_,h_some evidence suggests Parl 1 er.—Most and best information indicates 1798. ARCHITECT: Unknown BUILDER: David Tuthill 20, HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTLIRAL IMPORTANCE: The original house is a typical 18th century one-and-a-half story North Fork farmhouse. The 2 story "new" section was added about 1880. Both the house and the numerous outbuildings are historically valuable because so lit- tle structural alteration has taken place over the years. In fact, the house remained virtually unchanged for most of the 20th century. The main Barn contains timberso including Gothic arches, from the First Presbyterian Church of Cutchogue which was built in 1732 and demolished in 1852. 21. SOURCES: Bear, Joy.

The virtually unaltered house is com- posed of two sections ; the original 1798 farmhouse was enlarged with a 1880 wing. . In addition, the main house has a full complement of historic farm support buildings which are set in an agrarian landscape. Although the structures which constitute the Tuthill Farmstead are modest in appearance, they are remarkably unchanged and, as such.are important examples of eighteenth and nineteenth century vernacular building practices and craft techniques in rural eastern Long Island as well as local agricultural practice. The Tuthill farmhouse was built in 1798 by David Tuthill . It was and is still situated in the undeveloped outskirts south of Cutchogue' s village center . This agricultural area had been part of a 240-acre tract of land called Broadfields , which had been cultivated since the community ' s mid-seventeenth century settle- ment. David Tuthill, like a majority of Cutchogue ' s local residents , was a farmer. He was a descendent of one of Cutchogue ' s first settling families and the farmstead remained in the Tuthill family for successive generations until the mid 1970 ' s . In 1880, the original farmhouse was doubled in size with the addition of a two-story side wing. This building expansion is indicative of the Tuthill family' s increased size and prosperity. The addition was attached to , yet did not compromise the 1798 dwelling ; a single first floor door opening is the only access between the two building sections . The Tuthill Farmstead is architecturally significant as a relatively intact , representative example of an historic eastern Long Island farm complex. Both sections of the Tuthill Farmhouse illustrate local buiding and craft practices in use on eastern Long Island during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries . Architectural features which are characteristic of this local building tradition include wood frame construction, clapboard and shingled exterior sheathing, a five-bay (center entrance/chimney) plan, and simple exterior and interior trim and finishes . The interiors of all the farmstead buildings are remarkably well preserved, particularly the main house, its wing , and the nearby wash house . Noteworthy interior details include exposed wood frames , lath and plaster walls , wood wainscots , panelled doors , and original hardware .
