Additionally, the work of Nathaniel VII (1827-1910), the son of Felix, who was involved in creating small tools, clocks and repaired watches.

[6] Felix Dominy (February 12, 1800 – 1868) exhibited a strong dedication to both the military and politics, serving as a major in the New York State Militia.

Around 1834, Felix decided to shift his focus away from his craft activities and subsequently relocated to Fire Island, where he assumed the role of Lighthouse keeper.

[8] Nathaniel Dominy VII (1827-1910) managed a jewelry store, specializing in clock and watch repairs, while also offering Daguerreotype services.

The Winterthur Museum houses furniture and clocks crafted by the talented members of the Dominy family, along with preserved sections of their original workshops.

[10] In 2021, it was announced the Dominy family home would be rebuilt on Main Street using architectural specifications from the Historical American Buildings Survey.

According to Robert Hefner, a windmill historian, the clock shop holds great importance due to the presence of a significant forge and fireplace.
