Another historic structure in Richmondtown on Staten Island is the Britton Cottage, previously the Cubberly House. The oldest component of the house, the central section, was erected in 1670, with two expansions added around 1760. Before 1840, a lean-to was constructed. The house remained in the hands of the same family for three generations.
The cubberly house is significant as one of the first houses built after the original purchase of the land from the Dutch by Henry Hudson in 1645. It is believed that the cubberly family were early settlers of the area now known as Richmond Township. The house has been preserved nearly in its original state due to being used as a local school until 1968 when it was acquired by the Staten Island Historical Society.
The cubberly house is now open to the public as an exhibit called "Time Out For History".
It's free and open to the public daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. except for Thanksgiving and Christmas days when it is closed.
There is also a small museum located next to the house which features changing exhibits about the history of Richmond Township and Staten Island.
The cubberly house can be reached by taking New York City Transit to the South Beach station and walking south on Sterling Place or Richmond Terrace for approximately 1 mile.
When the English conquered the city for the King of England in 1664, they renamed the island after the Duke of Richmond, King Charles II's son. Staten Island had a population of 1,063 by the end of the 17th century. The first census taken after New York City was founded showed that its population was only about 1,500 people.
The borough has been home to many important events in American history. During the Revolutionary War, the British used Fort Richmond on the southern tip of the island as a prison camp for soldiers accused of crimes against the Empire. In 1777, after the war ended, those prisoners who were still alive were granted amnesty by the new government and allowed to leave the colony. The fort today is just one of several sites on the island that are included in a national historic park called Huguenot Memorial Park.
In 1872, the New York City Subway began service to Staten Island. The first line opened from Brooklyn to Coney Island, and it was known as the Brooklyn-Coney Island Line until 1979 when it was renamed in honor of its two original contractors, John A. DeWitt and Thomas O'Brien. The second line went from Coney Island to West Brighton, and it was also named for its contractors, Richard Nickel and William Morris.
Large Victorian mansions in the Saint George Historic District, as well as the Staten Island Yankees Stadium and the zoo, may be found inside the area. Conference House Park is located on the island's southern tip. It is the location of a building remnant where peace discussions were previously held during the Revolutionary War.
