I see Joan Robbins (the homeowner) is here with us this evening. I have a memorandum here from James Grathwohl, our Landmarks Preservation commissioner, the Chair of our Commission. 'On September 16th, Southold Town Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to recommend that this property be placed on the Town's register of historic landmarks. Please schedule a public hearing regarding the designation of this property in the Town of Southold. We respectfully request that the heating be scheduled for October 21st.' In this file is a note about the building and I can let others speak to it who have more intimate connection with it than I do but it is a pre-1873 as a date and it is indeed an historic structure. I have an original of the legal notice that appeared in the local newspaper about it and it has also appeared on the Town Clerk's bulletin board outside. I guess that the only, that is the significant data I have on it. Goldsmith-Tuthill House Historic Landmark Designation October 21, 2008 Public Hearing 2 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, I want to recognize, actually I have Landmark Preservation Commission member Barbara Schnitzler in the back, Joan Robbins, the homeowner of the home; Jim Grathwohl, the chairman of the group was here earlier, he left just a short time ago. Would anybody like to come up and address the Town Board on this particular designation? Please, come on up. JOAN ROBBINS: I will be very happy to have my property designated a landmark and for those that might be considering something like this, I wanted to say that before I applied I sought the advice of a very reputable local appraisal firm to see what change, what effect this might have on the value. And I was told that their experience showed that it really had no effect at all on value one way or the other. I had determined to do this in any case because I thought it was the best way I knew to protect the property. I do not want my house to be a tear down one day and I especially do not want my husband's barn, Newt's barn to be tom down. The other thing is, if this is approved, I will be only the fourth structure in New Suffolk to be designated a local landmark. The Methodist mission, which is now Janet McGowan's house, the old Harbor House, which is Barbara Schnitzler's and the New Suffolk school are the first three. And this is really a pity, because in a small hamlet that is less than one square mile in acreage, there are well over 40 structures still (inaudible) let were listed on the SPLIA list in 1985. I mean, we are not designated an historic district but we ought to be. Because we really are. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to come up and address on this designation? BARBARA SCHNITZLER: Barbara Schnitzler, Landmarks Commissioner. I am here to speak in support of Joan's landmark and I am here to speak as a Commissioner but as a fellow New Suffolker and fellow landmark owner and I am just happy that every time I ride my bike down Main Street, I will know that I can always see her little house and her little barn and hopefully her garden, too. I know it will be safe and it will be there for my children and my grandchildren, too. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to come up and address the Board on this issue of designation?

In the early 1900's, it contained a little candy store called Aunt Mary's. When Howard G. Tuthill owned it, Henry Seymour lived there and drove the horses and wagons stabled in the adjoining barn. He hauled the coal that was loaded from the barges at the New Suffolk dock for Goldsmith and Tuthill. In 1925, the house was bought by Joseph and Anna "Case" Lechmanskei. In 1961, it was purchased by the present owners, Newton and Joan Robbins. father of Captain Frank Acker, married Ellen Tuthill. After his death his widow married John Jennings and moved to his house across the street-the white clap~ board house with Palladian windows and a dutch oven in the chimney. Mrs. Ellen Tuthill Acker Jennings lived here alone for many years after her second husband's death. The present owner is Mrs. Frank Hagen. 27 NS -1 Chace- May of ~uffolk Coun~ 1858 Beers, Comstock, A~s,, of Lon~ Island 1873 TO,"VK or ~QUTHOL~),GUt'£O LK FIFTH ./ Belcher-Hyde, E.
