This one and a half story building is a typical Long Island style home. The house has an old millstone built into the basement 's foundation wall and the rear wing is thought to be the former carpenter shop of Gamaliel Bennett (1775-1848). Manly's original windmill stood on the hill near the house on the other side of the Main Road. It was replaced in 1810 with a windmill built by Nathaniel Dominy V (1770- 1852). The Great Western Windmill, replaced the Dominy windmill. Then the Dominy mill, which still stands, was later moved to Shelter Island in 1839 and now is part of Sylvester Manor.
