Nathaniel Dominy was one of three brothers who emigrated from England to America with John Winthrop and fourteen hundred Puritan emigrants. They landed at Salem and founded the Plymouth Rock colony in 1630. The old Dominy House was eventually taken down, much to many people's regret, but fortunately Mr. Dudley Roberts Jr. was in time to rescue the two most interesting parts of it - the Clock Shop at one end and the Cabinetmaker's Shop at the other. He combined them into one building,The Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities has copies of the 14 measured drawings of the Dominy House, East Hampton. which were made under the Works Progress Administration, Historic American Buildings Survey.
