Hawkins House

On Sunday I drove over to the Hawkins House in Yaphank. The house was built in 1850 by Robert Hewlett Hawkins, a 7th generation descendant of Robert and Mary Hawkins who came to Boston from   England in 1635. Robert Hawkins was a successful businessman and built this house for his family.
Today the house is part of the Yahpank Historical Society. Some day I'm going to see if they do tours and see what the inside is like.
The roof lines in this were a definite challenge.
