This 1858 Italianate home is not in a state of disrepair. It does not need to be torn down under any circumstance let alone for a supersized gas station that will devalue all the homes in close proximity and historic Main Street and even the town of East Hampton as a whole.

Unless you’re going to make it a historic gas station, this is such a gross thing to do.

It can make economic sense to retain historic buildings and Improve them to meet modern codes and requirements. Rehabilitating old buildings to their original appearance not only adds character to the area, but can also help attract investment, as well as tourists if the structures are historically significant.

I am deeply distressed that this beautiful historic house is at risk of destruction. East Hampton, CT and especially our Main Street is defined by these important and irreplaceable structures. As a resident of East Hampton who lives within 500 feet of this building, I stand fully in opposition of its destruction.

The Charles A. Strong House - built in 1858 - is one of the earliest Italianate-style structures in the Belltown National Register of Historic District. Its cruciform plan, high stone foundation, stone sills and narrow Italianate-style windows are unique features. While it has suffered delayed maintenance and neglect by its current owners, it remains structurally sound and worthy of rehabilitation. Let’s not sacrifice the historic character of East Hampton’s Main Street for a 4,500sf gas station and parking lot.
