Clerk of the Works House
1433 Old Northern Boulevard, Roslyn
Adapted from the 2004 House Tour Guide
Once located at 69 Remsen Avenue, this two-story frame dwelling was moved to its present location in 2002. Originally sited near the old village school, the building served as a residence for the maintenance supervisor or "clerk of the works" for the educational facility. When the surrounding area was slated for development and the abandoned house was threatened with demolition, the developer generously agreed to pay the costs of relocating the building to ensure its preservation.
Since it was relocated, John Santos has totally restored this simple, early 20th century dwelling, retaining many of the home's original elements. The house features a one-story wraparound porch supported by turned posts. The interior is designed around a side-hall plan with two rooms opening onto the hallway from the right. This floorplan is repeated upstairs.
The building is currently used as the Long Island office for Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC.
