142 OLD SOUTHpLD TOWN'S TERCENTENARY SD 116
original house, however, was built by Samuel Youngs in 1658
and has passed through the hands consecutively of Hempstead,
Gardiner, Coleman, Appleby, Albertson, 'ferry, Wickham and .
Ilartranft families. It has long been claimed that the old
rBarnabas Horton kitchen, middle 1600s, eventually became
Richard S. Sturges' carpenter shop and now is the Girl Scout
headquarters on Oak Lawn Avenue. It had moved only across
t' the main road and around a corner to its present location. A �►
replica of the house itself which is no longer in existence stood
on the lawn of the town clerk's office during the celebration.
The site of the original house, R. G. Terry's property, was
marked by a Celebration sign, "Barnabas Horton, Baker."
In Bay View the Deacon James Horton house, 171I (the
lower wing), stands just beyond the old district school (Miss
Mary L. Dayton's house—Mrs. E. W. Scherr's residence) ; 66
the old Jennings-house, 1761, stands at the sharp bend of the
Bay View road (Henry Sayward) ; the first Joseph Halloek
'? house built by him in the 1 7oos, on the Bay View road is now
s the remodeled Re don Club House.
i There are a number of Interesting sources of information
i about old houses, to which reference has already been made.
H. Howard Huntting and Jonathan G. Huntting kept valuable
scrapbooks throughout part of the last century, and these
books are now mines of information about old Southold Town.
In them are found the "Hobbles about the Village" by J. Hor. r
ton Case, who tells the story of some of the old houses from
J. Wickham Case's sources for such history.
Would that the owners of all the old houses of Southold
Town might preserve them and hand them on to posterity, not
allow them to be destroyed wantonly nor decay to the ground I
They are precious for the very sustaining of a character which,
! if lost, would mean defamation to much that the town holds
dear to itself. This chapter comes to a close, having made its
salute to that spirit dwelling within or about some of the oldest
y houses of Southold Town, with a prayer for their well-being
and safety through all the days and years ahead,
