Discover the timeless charm of classic Hamptons architecture with this captivating collection that celebrates the enduring elegance of vintage design. These exclusive homes evoke the simple glamour of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the storied history and refined aesthetics that define the Hamptons' architectural landscape.
While modern, lavish, and state-of-the-art homes continue to rise in the Hamptons, this volume highlights an equally compelling narrative: the preservation and restoration of historically significant houses that maintain their original charm. This fascinating exploration provides an intimate look inside these classic residences, capturing the essence of the Hamptons' architectural heritage. Accompanied by renowned architectural photographer Stanley Rumbough and Hamptons historian Richard Barons, readers are invited "over the privet hedges" of dozens of homes that reveal clues to the area's illustrious past.
The collection features a diverse range of homes, from quaint 18th-century cottages to the elegant Sister Parish-style décor associated with Hamptons legend Dina Merrill. Each house is celebrated for its historical significance and impeccable style, offering a heartfelt glimpse into the region’s rich cultural tapestry. Contributions from notable Hamptons icons such as David Netto and Alec Baldwin recall a time before million-dollar homes dominated the area’s pristine beaches and charming lanes.
This volume is copublished by The East Hampton Historical Society and DelMonico Books, making it an essential addition for enthusiasts of historic architecture and Hamptons history.
