The Brewster Porcelain House

Bring a piece of Long Island history into your home.

This Porcelain house holds the story of six generations of Brewsters. The Brewster House was built in 1665 and considered the oldest house in the Town of Brookhaven. The house has transformed over the centuries from the one-room cottage to its present saltbox structure. During the American Revolution, Joseph Brewster operated the house as a tavern and general store, entertaining British troops inside. American Patriot Caleb Brewster, cousin of the Joseph Brewster and presumably a frequent visitor to the house, was a member of George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring during the Revolutionary War.
