Builder’s New Headquarters in Historic Amagansett House?

In an unusual move last week, the East Hampton Town Planning Board punted on the builder John Hummel’s proposal to move Amagansett’s historic George Baker House at 261 Main Street and convert it to offices for his firm. The house now sits well back from Main Street, and it is proposed to move it closer to the road to make room for parking behind it.
