A Bold Hamptons Beach House With Nary a Shingle or Clapboard in Sight
“Grey Gardens, it ain’t.”
By Laura Raskin Stephen Kent Johnson
When Daryl Simon and her husband, Irwin, purchased a rare piece of land in Bridgehampton, New York, for a weekend and summer home, they were clear on one thing: They didn’t want a traditional Hamptons beach house. There would be no homage to the Shingle Style’s steeply peaked rooflines, no Colonial Revival for the 21st century, and no corporate swaths of glass.
In the family room, the vintage Mario Brunu lounge chairs are covered in a Holly Hunt fabric, and the custom side table is by TUW Designs. The walls are made of Kolumba brick from Petersen Tegl, the custom rug is by Mourne Textiles, and the artwork is by Rashid Johnson.

One of Newburgh s most notable pieces of architecture is the 1835 Dutch Reformed Church, located next to the Newburgh Free Library. Today, the front of the church features raised garden beds growing fresh vegetables as part of the Newburgh Urban Farm and Food Initiative.Cloey Callahan
City of Newburgh historian Mary McTamaney described the small, four-square-mile city of Newburgh as a “treasure box of architectural styles” with history captured in the building of the city’s blocks throughout the years.
“Newburgh was prosperous long enough to have many styles come and go in popularity,” said McTamaney.
