The Youngs-Coyle House was built by Col. John Youngs, eldest son of the Rev. John Youngs, the Puritan minister who founded Southold Town in 1640. Col. Youngs, who already owned a home in Southold, constructed his Greenport home as a summer retreat when he was around 65 years old.
Originally, the house was located on what is now Robinson Road, at the head of Sterling Creek. Referred to by Col. Youngs as “Green Hill” because of its elevation, the property comprised hundreds of acres, along with the house and several outbuildings. According to the 1972 book “Greenport, Yesterday and Today,” these structures likely would have included slave quarters, as the Youngs “were slave owners up to the time slavery was abolished in New York State” in 1827. The farm surrounding the home encompassed all of modern-day Greenport.
“Green Hill” was built with 18-inch hand-hewn oak beams from the forests lining the shores of Sterling Creek, all of which are still intact. Bark is still visible on the logs holding up the basement
In 1727, the house was enlarged when a weaving mill was attached to it. At some point, a large kitchen wing with a dirt floor was also added.
The property was operating as a duck farm around 1901 when Albert Delafield of Manhattan, who had built a house to the north of the Youngs’ estate, decided “the old homestead completely hid his view of Greenport harbor,” according to a contemporary newspaper clipping from Queensboro Public Library.
Delafield “succeeded in buying the half of the estate on which stood the historic homestead, and then it was announced that the old house must be removed by May 1,” the circa 1900 article continues. “Thus one of the few remaining relics of the early settlement of Southold Town will soon pass away.”
The house was removed, but wasn’t razed, as many locals feared it would be. According to Cibulski, who has been researching the property’s history for the past month, it was instead divided into three sections. The kitchen wing was moved to a lot on Second Street and the mill was relocated to Route 48, near Sterling Cemetery. The house itself was moved to its current location on Champlin Place.
This history is markedly different from the likely apocryphal one most Greenport residents are familiar with, including the Ebelings.
“The story we always heard was that there were two brothers who owned the house and they had a fight over something, so they sawed a part of the house off and moved it because they couldn’t stand being together,”

The Lumber Inn in Delafield, Wisconsin.
I had eaten here once before several years ago and finally had a chance to do so again.
It is a nice place, quite small, good food, nice atmosphere.
