East Hampton holds some of the oldest surviving houses on Long Island. The village grew from a seventeenth-century settlement, and the buildings along and near Main Street run back to a period when a window was a made object rather than a purchased one — small panes, hand-worked frames, and openings sized to no convention that exists today. Around and beyond that core the village accumulated the same shingle-style summer architecture as the rest of the South Fork, and then decades of building behind it. So one town covers three hundred years, and the oversight reflects that: this is a place where what a replacement looks like is genuinely regulated. Meanwhile the ocean is close, and the elevations facing it take the full weather. Very old, very exposed, and closely watched is an unusual combination, and it is the normal condition here.
On the oldest houses we build to the opening and match the light pattern and sash proportion to what the building already has, because on a house of that age the glazing is the architecture. Where appearance is regulated we resolve the profile and finish before the order rather than after. Seaward elevations are specified for the marine and ultraviolet load independently of the sheltered ones.
We will look at the age of the house first, because in this village that decides almost everything else.
