New Residential Construction/Bilberry Swamp

Dear Ms. Moore,
Thank you for requesting the comments of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation regarding the new residential construction project in Southhold, NY. We
have reviewed the project under Section 14.09 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
Law of 1980 and the relevant implementing regulations.
Douglas Mackey of our archeology unit has reviewed the project. He has determined that our
office has no further archeology concerns.
Because the project is located adjacent to the National Register listed Town Doctor's House and
in a potential historic district, we have reviewed the project for its potential impact on the district
and the house.We are happy to see that the new house will be designed to blend with the
surrounding historic buildings. However, we recommend that the new house be differentiated
from the historic houses so as not to recreate history that never occurred. Please send us
detailed elevation drawings of the new construction indicating materials.
Please use the PR number of top of this letter when you refer to this project in future. If you or
anyone involved with the project has any questions, please contact me at 518-237-8643, ext.
3252.
Sincerely,
Sloane Bullough
Historic Sites Restoration Coordinator
