Our friends at the Sag Harbor Historical Museum are hosting a presentation by AIA Peconic Member James Merrell exploring the reinterpretation of Maycroft. 

“Occasionally a project will challenge every principle an architect holds dear. Originally built in 1885, the Maycroft Estate in 2004 was neither salvageable nor restorable. Though listed on the National Register, Maycroft’s historical importance resided in its silhouette on the horizon of Sag Harbor Village: an image engrained in the minds of an entire community. So, when other architects recommended demolition, Merrell Soule Architects proposed a different approach, one that later came to be understood as Reinterpretation. Today, Maycroft remains on the National Register, and on the Village horizon, yet little else of the original remains.”  

We invite you to learn more about this and other events hosted by the Sag Harbor Historical Museum.
