A fine example of a Long Island home of 1835, is of special interest because of sophisticated large segmental-arched dormers, and the fine condition of original out buildings and grounds. 21.

The Cleveland-Charnews house is of special architectural interest because of the sophisticated large segmental-arched dormcrs that embellish its high roof. Not surprisingly, these dormers are similar to the dormers on the Robert Hempstead house one block to the west'. As the Hempstead house was enlarged by Squire Ezra C. Terry in 1635 and as the Cleveland-Charnews house was built in 1835, it seems safe to assume that both sets of dormcrs were possibly the work of the same builder-architect.

This house with its later additions became the property of Sperry Gyroscope Company and, only slightly remodeled, was the guest house for distinguished visitors during the first years that the United Nations occupied the Sperry plant. Now moved to New Hyde Park Road,the gift of Fred Schumacher,Jr., the house is in Clinton G. Martin Park and has been taken over by the Town of North Hempstead to serve as a historical house-museum.
