When it comes to making something old new again, South Forkers turn to their own home-grown architect for solutions. Born in Hampton Bays, raised in Water Mill, John David Rose, founder of the eponymous architectural firm in Southampton Village, has made historic preservation of homes and public houses a specialty of the 29-year-old shop. Indeed, some of the East End’s most notable homes owe their continuing legacy to his firm: Shorewood Manor on Shelter Island, Southampton’s Wyndecote and Sunnymede and, now, Halsey House, the historic museum that is a project in progress.
Listen in to some of the fascinating projects Rose and his team have undertaken on today’s Southforker Stories podcast.
