Preservation Notes - Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities
SEGMENTAL-ARCHED DORAIERS
Photograph by Barbara I:err~s Van Lbew
The well preserved Cleve-
land-Charnews house on tile south
side of Main Road in Southhold is a
fine example of a Long Island home
of 1835. This gambrel roof 2Y~
story half-house bcars no rese~n-
blance to thc tbpical north fork
"Cape Cods" which line Main Road
and Sound Avenue from Orient
Point almost to Baiting tlollow and
which, incidentally, arc today too
often vacant and boarded up. The
Clcvcland-Charnews house is of special architectural interest because of the
sophisticated large segmental-arched dorincrs that embellish its high roof.
Not surpdsin~y, these dormers arc similar to the dormers on thc Robert
llcmpstcad hou~ one block to the west*..A_, the tlcmpstead house was
erdarged by .%tuke Ezra C. Terry in 1835 and as the Clcveland-Charncws
house was built in 1835, it seems ~fc to as~utnc that both sets of dormer:,
were po:,sibly thc work of the mine builder-architect.
NEW HYDE PARK
Renovated Schumacher House
The Williams-Van Nostrand-
Kissam house, which is today
known as the Schumacher house,
formerly stood where Marcus
Avenue now runs. The original sec-
tion, said to have been built early in
the 1700's, consisted of a single
twelve-by-fifteen-foot room with a
wide fireplace, an oven, and a steep
stair - almost a ladder - that went
up by the chimney to the loft above. This house with its later additions
became the property of Sperry Gyroscope Company and, only slightly
remodded, was the guest housc for distinguisbcd visitors during thc first
years that the United Nations occupied the Sperry plant.
Now moved to New Ilyde Park Road, the gift of Fred Schumactwr, Jr.,
the house is in Clinton G. Martin Park and has been taken over by thc
Town of North Hempstead to serve a.$ a historical house-museum. While
