Osborne Law Office, 135A Main Street.
This early to mid-18th century house was moved back from the street about 1898. Its rare plaster cove cornice seems to be a feature on several of East Hampton's more stylish historic 18th century buildings. This photo was taken about 1895. |
David Gardiner House, 95 Main Street.
The oldest gambrel-roof building in East Hampton, the Gardiner house was moved back from Main Street by Winthrop Gardiner in 1924. Today it is the home of the Ladies Village Improvement Society (LVIS). This photograph, from about 1922, shows the original pewter ornamented transom window above the door on the old entrance porch. |
The Intersection of Main Street and Newtown Lane (looking south).
The decorative street lamp and the fancy wrought iron framed street sign are relic of the past. Note the two policemen and one of their motorcycles parked on the sidewalk to the left. This photograph dates from the late 1920's. |

Main Street before the fire of 1906. |
The Osborn-Jackson House at 101 Main Street, when it was painted white and housed J. K. Parson's Post Office about 1910. |
Rowdy Hall when it sat next to the Presbyterian Church. This early photograph dates from 1880 and shows the infamous boarding house that received the nickname "Rowdy Hall." This is where the Tile Club members (a New York artist's group) stayed on their well documented visit to the East End. This site is now the side lawn of the present church and "Rowdy Hall" has since been moved to 111 Egypt Lane.
