Hauppauge, NY 11788 Re.: Dedication of the entire Montauk County Park to the Suffolk County Historic Trust. Dear Ms. Russo, Montauk County Park was dedicated to the Suffolk County Historic Trust by CEQ resolution number 44-1991. However, the buildings and structures within the park were not included in the dedicating resolution. At this time, we are recommending a new resolution to include the property and buildings. The Suffolk County Historic Trust Committee has made a site visit to Montauk County Park and has recommended the park and its buildings be dedicated/listed to the Suffolk County Historic Trust. See attached committee vote. Please consider reviewing Montauk County Park for dedication to the Suffolk County Historic Trust at the next CEQ meeting on November 19, 2014. ~:~--z52- Director of Historic Services Suffolk County Parks Department cc.: Commissioner Greg Dawson Ends: Historic Trust Committee resolution, maps, & Montauk County Park History of Third House SlJl~Ji'CtLK Ct:">VNT'i' MONTAUK HIGHWAY- P.O.

' I MONTAUK COUNTY PARK USE ud fEATURES 1702· 1&115 YO"" 1 32 a MONTAUK COUNTY PARK HISTORY OF THIRD HOUSE r'"\ ; ) Third House was originally built in 1806 by the Trustees ofEast Hampton. They built the house for the keeper who they appointed to tend the livestock that grazed in the pastures ofthe Montauk peninsula east of Great Pond. Two other houses had already been built for the keepers ofthe west end of the Montauk peninsula. The "First House" built in 1798 was located at Hither Hills, which is no longer standing. The "Second House" built in 1797 at Fort Pond is now open to the public with tours provided by the Montaul( Historic Society. In 1879, Arthur W. Benson, a Brooklyn financier and avid sportsman, purchased the entire Montauk peninsula for $151,000.00. The only lands not included in the sale were the Federal lighthouse and life saving station reservations. Benson added the west wing to Third House at this time which contained sixteen bedrooms. He opened up the old kitchen to create a new large dining room and added a porch across the entire front fayade. Third House ceased to be a keeper's house and became exclusively used as a boarding house or inn. One day stands out in the 200 year history of Third House. On August 17, 1898, Col. Theodore , Roosevelt stayed at Third House shortly after arriving in Montauk with his Rough Riders. In August 1898 29,500 soldiers returning from duty in the Spanish-American War camped at Montaul( until they were certified fi·ee of yellow fever and typhoid fever. In August and September of 1898 Camp Wikoff was a tent city spread out on the Great Plain between Fort Pond and Lake Montauk and extending across Ditch Plain south of Third House. Third House was just outside the camp boundary as shown on a manuscript map "Camp Wikoff, Montaul(, N.Y. Sept. 1898." Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt arrived at Camp Wikoff on August 15, 1898 and spent the first few nights in detention along with his men. The August 19, 1898 edition ofthe New York Times reported, "The Rough Riders who arrived here last Monday were released from the detention camp today although Colonel Roosevelt left there last night and for the first time in a good many weeks slept in what he called a "civilized bed" at Third House." Col. 11 Roosevelt joined his family at Third House on August 1t • Mrs. Roosevelt was reported to have arrived 111 at Third House as early as August 9 • Col. Roosevelt may have stayed at Third House only one night before moving to his tent in Camp Wikoff Carl Graham Fisher and his partners in the Montauk Beach Development Corporation purchased 9000 acres at Montauk in I 925 intending to create a summer resort following the example oftheir 1920 Miami Beach development. Included in Fisher's I 925 purchase was Third House. Fisher had bon-owed heavily to finance the construction ofMontauk and was ruined by the stock market crash of 1929. Third House was apparently completely abandoned after 1929. The East Hampton Star's 1935 fiftieth­ anniversary issue noted ofThird House: " it is owned by the Montauk Beach Development Corporation; but it is uninhabited and looks very lonely there, standing grey and bare on the hill." The 1930's brought a new era oftourism to Montauk and to Third House. The Long Island State Park Commission, headed by Robert Moses, established Hither Hills State Park; at the west end of Montaulc, and Montauk Point State Park and in 1931 constructed a scenic highway connecting them. In 1936 Phineas Dicldnson III started a cattle ranch at the Carl Fisher polo stables across the road from Third House. Two years later the abandoned Third House was purchased by William D. Bell and his sister, Mary Bell, who saw the possibility for a new tourist attraction in Montauk: the dude ranch.

  • Section Vii Public Access Policies #19-20 & Recreation
    SECTION VII PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES #19-20 & RECREATION POLICIES #9, #21 & 22 Town of East Hampton LWRP Public Access and Recreation Policies #9 &19-22 A. INTRODUCTION Public access to the water and the recreation activity it affords is critical to East Hampton Town's resort economy. The tourist, second home and real estate industries stem directly from the attractions of coastal recreation, which takes place on public beaches and in public waters. Fishing, boating and the myriad of other activities are supported by an array of local enterprises, marina and charter boat operations, boat rentals, fishing tackle and sporting goods shops, which depend on the ecology, natural bounty and scenic beauty of public coastal resources. Maintaining water quality, fisheries productivity, beaches, wetlands, etc. are vital not only for the intrinsic value of the resources, but also for their ripple effect through the economy. The value of public access and coastal recreation goes beyond their economic worth -- it is the primary incentive for visiting and living in East Hampton. Coastal based recreation goes on in every reach of the Town's coastal zone, from passive, non- consumptive pastimes like photography and nature walks, to active, consumptive uses like fishing and hunting. The coast is not only a setting for active recreation, the harmony of nature and vistas of open space are themselves re-creation and relaxation for the mind, healing balm for the frenetic pace of life. The sea and its proximity, the inlets, bays, beaches and marshes attract the eye with unbroken expanses, infusing the spirit. While this LWRP section examines public access and recreational infrastructure, it is important to recall the visual and scenic context of these facilities and their tangible benefits to quality of life.

  • Town of East Hampton Section VIII. Historic Resources Policy
    SECTION VIII HISTORIC RESOURCES POLICY #23 Town of East Hampton LWRP Historic Resources Policy #23 A. INTRODUCTION History shapes a community in subtle ways, colors the assumptions of community life, enriches and enlivens the sense of place for residents and visitors alike. Historic and cultural resources are the touchstones of tradition. They can be housed in museums, monuments and structures, but the real keys to continuity with the past, and the underpinnings of a viable future, are a community's awareness of its cultural history. The Inventory, Analysis and Historic Resource Policy #23 that follow are intended to promote an ethic of respect for the past, impress the need for study and quality information, and instill pride in the community's cultural and historic resources. In 1998 East Hampton Town celebrates the 350th anniversary of its founding by English settlers, the historical mainstream of present society. There have been other streams too, aboriginal settlements that date to thousands of years B.C., a heritage that left its mark in the Indian place names that abound in the community, and the wealth of archaeological sites the Town struggles to protect from pervasive development. Buildings and structures remind us of the colonial era; only the subtleties of the archaeological record and the oral history of native descendants remains to preserve aboriginal history. Since colonial times the Town has participated in several of the great tides of American history in its journey from a subsistence agricultural and fishing community to a premier coastal resort. The country's military history was acted out here beginning with the American Revolution.

  • Town of East Hampton Section IX. Scenic Resources Policies #24-25
    SECTION IX SCENIC RESOURCES POLICIES #24-25 Town of East Hampton LWRP Scenic Resources Policies #24-25 A. INTRODUCTION The Town of East Hampton has an extraordinary endowment of coastal scenery, vistas of the slender isthmus of Napeague stretching to Hither Hills, soft-edged coastal ponds, sinuous saltmarsh shorelines, puffs of spring shad bloom undulating over Montauk's moorlands, towering hoodoo ocean bluffs west of Montauk Point. The visual quality of the coast is part of the Town's natural wealth and its cultural heritage. Panoramic views of the water and esthetic issues are important not only because they deeply affect the way people feel about living in the community, but because scenic values play a vital part in attracting visitors, residents, and businesses to East Hampton. Certain esthetic values are deeply embedded in our culture and value systems, among them the passion for visual proximity to the water. Like people everywhere, East Hampton's residents have grown accustomed to their surroundings and tend to lose sight of the visual glory amidst their lives. Too often scenic resources are taken for granted and given short shrift until spectacular views have been marred by inappropriate development, dunescapes cluttered with boxy condominium rooflines, or the lines of dunes and bluffs broken by multi-storied homes thrust skyward for water views. With its untreed openness, the visual integrity of the Atlantic Ocean shore is easily disrupted and the most vulnerable to impairment from development. The scenery of the more wooded Peconic Estuary coast is more forgiving and in places can better conceal residential construction.
