Southampton Village was originally settled in 1640 and incorporated as a village in 1894. Its bona fides as a historic place are strong, and there are notable pressures that threaten the village’s quaint roots, particularly when it comes to architecture and the design of its houses.

According to a State Parks’ Historic and Natural Districts inventory form: “These large, upper-income residences were originally built by some of America’s most prominent and wealthy families (including ... by Editorial Board

Now, it’s the Ponquogue Bridge, a much larger 38-year-old span that was closed on February 21 after concerns about “deterioration” of the concrete girders supporting its road deck. It’s back open again, but with weight limits that will keep some important commercial ... by Editorial Board
