SIGNIFICANCE I1). DATE OF INITIAL CONSTRUCTION: circa 1842 ARCHITECT: BUILDFR: 0. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: This house was included as # 20 on the Summer of History 1965 map. It was No. 52 on the 1983 guide to Historic Sites. The brackets under the roof are similar to those on the house across the road. See form AS 9. Although "remodelled, " the house retains its integrity and contri- butes to Southold' s historic ambience. The house was C. Reeve's in 1873, and Tillinghast in 1897 and 1909. Mrs. Tillinghast was daughter of Charles Reeve and her great granddaughter Mrs. Copin and her husband Samuel are the present owners. Apparently the house has never been out of the famiiy6/87.

Prince, bought this house eight years after Sidney's death and lived here with her daughters, May and Marcia, until 1909, after both were married. Marcia had a hat shop in the two rooms at the right in the Photo; the front one was furnished with a few little stands where hats were dis- played on holders and the floor stacked w_th boxes of hats she bought in the city each fall and spring. The room in back was her workroom. Mary Conklin, the present owner and also a Prince descendant, remembers walk- ing over to the shop with her mother to get her Easter hat each year and says "Marcia was nice" .
