Description

Southold - Jonathan Jennings House circa 1761- Moved to its current location in 1761, this clapboard home has historical and architectural significance. The original wood frame house was built with interlocking joists and carelessly dressed ceiling beams. The house has a baker's brick oven with an ash pit, two fireplaces, and a brick foundation. Reportedly the first owner, Jonathan Jennings, served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, was captured by the British, and died on a prison ship in New York Harbor. Located at the intersection of Main Bayview Road and Baywater Road, the property was also known as "Halfway House" because of its position on the Bayview Peninsula. Subsequent ownership included Southold blacksmith Doc Billy Glover at the turn of the 20th century. Currently, the two-story house consists of a dining room with a brick floor, kitchen, office, parlor room with fireplace, living room with fireplace, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The level treed property is .63 of an acre. In addition to the house, there are two outbuildings: a two-car garage and a storage building. The storage building has a partially finished second level. Opportunity to own and restore a property with a rich history that is ready for its next chapter. Please call for additional information or to schedule a viewing.
