Sag Harbor Landmark Tour

November 20, 1997

Five 18th and 19th-century houses and the Sag Harbor Methodist Church will be featured on a Sag Harbor Historical Society walking tour of Main and Madison Streets on Friday, Nov. 28. The structures are the latest Sag Harbor landmarks that have served as models for miniature replicas, a series of ornaments created by the Headley Studio in Sag Harbor annually since 1994.

Stops will be made at the Victorian Beaux-Arts-style house where F.B. Hope, a clock maker, resided in the 1860s, and four houses built and owned by Sag Harbor whaling captains: the 1790s Federal-style Sybil Douglas House; the New York townhouse-style house built by Samuel L'Hommedieu, a whaling expedition financier, for his bride; the Napier House, which has been transformed from a small 18th-century house to a Georgian mansion-style structure with a hipped roof to its current Italianate look, and the Union Street house that was owned by Jared Wade, a whaling captain and prominent 19th-century resident.

The 1835 Italianate Methodist Church will be the last stop before a reception at the Headley Studio, a co-sponsor of the tour. A raffle of the five new ornaments, which will be on display, will be held, along with a tasting of wines from Duckwalk Vineyards.

Three one-hour tours will depart from Headley Studio on Madison Street at 3, 4, or 5 p.m. Advance purchase of tickets, which cost $8.50 and are available at the studio, has been recommended.
