Galerie Magazine Publishes 1884 House
May 29, 2026
Featured in Galerie Magazine, 1884 House is a sensitive restoration and re-interpretation of an East Hampton boarding house. The property used to be a country boarding house surrounded by fields, pastures, and the waters of Georgia Cove where visitors enjoyed a sporting life and being in nature. When our client acquired this 19th-century boarding house, it was the first time in more than a century that the structure had come into new ownership. Built in 1884, the charming four-story structure is considered the best-preserved example of its type and era in East Hampton.
While attentive towards preserving original elements and hospitable character of the boarding house, we readied the house for life and entertaining today, which included moving the house 60 feet back from the street. This neighborly gesture reinforced the home’s residential character and enhanced the home’s relationship to the meadow behind it.
From a large-scale reconceptualization of the site plan to minute attention to historic detailing, the transformed 1884 House has been interpreted for another century of stewardship.
