Denton Homestead is a historic home located at East Rockaway in Nassau County, New York. It was built about 1795, and is a 1 1/2-story, five bay, center hall plan, vernacular Colonial style frame dwelling. It has a side gable roof and a hipped roof addition added after the house was moved to its present location in 1924. The front facade features a full width, shed roofed front porch. The interior features some Colonial Revival style design elements. Also on the property is a contributing carriage house (c. 1900). The house is a rare surviving former tavern and farmhouse from the village’s early period.[2]
