The George Washington Denton House is a historic home located in the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill, in Nassau County, New York.[2] It was built sometime between 1873 and 1875. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
Description[]
The home is a rectangular, 2-story wood-frame building with a two-stage rear service ell in a vernacular Italian Villa style. It features a 2+1⁄2-story engaged tower, semi-octagonal bay windows, and an "L" shaped wraparound verandah.
Also on the property is a brick ice house built into the side of a hill.[2][3]
The Long Island Rail Road's 1877 guidebook, "Long Island & Where to Go", made mention of this home.[2] The George Washington Denton House is one of four places of interest in Roslyn mentioned in this publication.[2]
The home is also featured in the Roslyn Landmark Society's 1986 house tour guide, on pages 414 - 423.[4]
