Feake–Ferris House

[4] Shortly after the purchase the Feakes likely began construction of a fieldstone cellar dug into a hill overlooking Greenwich Cove possibly serving as a makeshift home for their family.

Jeffrey Ferris' great-grandson, James, was a Revolutionary War veteran of the Battle of White Plains (1776) and owned the house when it allegedly suffered damage from British cannon fire, as evidenced by cannonball marks left on several rafters.

[11][12] In 2014 before the age of the structure was discovered, the dilapidated house was nearly demolished and replaced with a newer building by a recent buyer, but through the efforts of local preservationists, its history was uncovered, and the demolition process came to a halt.

The client, Greenwich Point Conservancy (GPC), has not yet released the results of the study, but claims that the west side of the house dates to circa 1645, the north lean-to addition made by Jeffrey Ferris to 1660, and the east side and expansion of the lean-to the James Ferris expansion of 1689.
