INTI RRELATIONSHIP OF BUILDING AND SURROUNDINGS: (Indicate if building or structure is in an historic district) The Lower Road used to be part of the old Kings Highway. It is now a quiet, mostly unused country lane. The house now stands at the junction with Ackerly Pond Lane , which in turn follows the edge of the marshlands that�are part I ti OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES OF BUILDING AND SITE (ioncTuding�in elor featuelsf i1'known): Early 11-story, 6--bay,gable roof house with off-center entrance aligned with interior chimney. Salt-box profile created by the angle of rear roof slope. See R. C. Newell (attached) for further description. SIGNIFICANCE 19. DATE OF INITIAL CONSTRUCTION: circa 1789 but probably much earlier. ARCHITECT: BUILDER: O. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: This very interesting house merits further study by architectural historians. Gaffga in 1873 and in 1949. This house is unusual in that it has 6 bays . This may have resulted from an addition made to a 3-bay house. In that way if resembles other early houses on Long Island that are considered a uniquely Long Island vernacular type . Also of note is the pitch of the rear roof. 1-1.

SD 180- RED y R r { AUNT TENLLI Y Continuing east, after passing Willow Hill Cemetery, at the foot of the hill the Lower Road and Bowery Lane merge and come into the Main goad, with Bay View Road joining �• from the right. The Lane is now called ""Ackerly Pond Road" but I prefer its old name. A little way up this lane are three very _old houses. On the -ight is Fanny Dickinson's which has low ceilings and uneven 1oors, but she has given it a pleasant feel- , ing of warmth and comfort. gn the left is Louis Zebroski's, j in which the hand-hewn beams and small bricks with an ori type of !aster in the cellar roclai its age.Over the rise in the road and on the right is the basement house built into the side of the hill, which has been owned and occupied by the same family line since its teginning, sometime before 1800. As far as can be determined, Gamaliel Bennett and his wife, Roxanna, came to Southold from Sag Harbor on the south side of Long Island. Among their household effects was the weaving loom which he had guilt of great oaken beams hewn from the Sag Harbor woods. This was for his wife to make their linen, homespun wool cloth and blankets. — 80 — R. C. Newell. Rose Remembers. 1976
