About
TheHistoric Jamesport House Tour on Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. will offer a look behind the front doors of more than a dozen homes in
Jamesport and the South Jamesport Historic District. The homes on the tour include
some of the first houses built in the port in the 1830s, residences erected
later in the 19th century and more recent houses designed by
well-known local architects. Architectural styles include Victorian gothic in a
former Methodist campground, Greek revival, Italianate and even mid-century
modern. The houses range from a modest cape built by a ship carpenter to a sprawling
ranch-style home that was previously a potato grading warehouse. Several of the
homes feature interesting interior design elements and art collections. Also on
the tour will be the Jamesport Meeting House erected in 1731 and today is the
oldest public building on the East End of Long Island. The tour will begin at
the Jamesport Meeting House located at 1590 Main Rd. The tour homes are within three-quarters
of a mile of each other and tour patrons are encouraged to walk or bike the
tour, as on-street parking is limited. Tour tickets are $60 in advance and $75
when purchased at the Jamesport Meeting House on the day of the tour. Advance tickets may be purchased at www.jamesportmeetinghouse.org. All proceeds will benefit the 1731
Meeting House. Tickets are limited.
