Preserving Quogue’s Architectural Heritage!
We at the Quogue Historical Society, along with a significant number of Quogue residents, are concerned about the demolition in recent years of a growing number of houses in the Historic District. It is these historic structures, collectively, that form the essential character of the Village we all love and cherish. We are currently exploring ways to ensure Quogue’s architectural heritage is preserved for future generations.
Please join us! Add your name to the list!

HOUSE PROUD!
Quogue’s Iconic Summer “Cottages”: 1880-1910
Part Two
January 10 – March 5, 2025, Open During Library Hours

Exhibition Overview
In 2016, ten years ago, a remarkable 250 buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Quogue Historic District. The majority are summer “cottages” built during an unprecedented real estate boom at the turn of the 20th century. Today, these Shingle-style homes form the architectural character of Quogue — its unique sense of place.
The coming of the railroad in 1870 cemented Quogue’s popularity as a summer resort. By the 1880s, boarding house residents were in search of a more permanent seasonal presence. Roads were laid out south of Quogue Street with easy access to the bays, creeks, and ocean; landowners began selling off house lots; and a flurry of home construction began. The mark left on the Village is indelible.
