Construction of Red Maples commenced in August 1911, when Alfred W. Hoyt (1863–1911) bought a 16-1/2 acre lot from James T. Kilbreth (of which 1-1/2 acres were assigned to a separate lot), located in Southampton, bounded by Ox Pasture Road, Halsey Neck Lane and Great Plains Road.

The announcement of their engagement in The New York Times mentioned that she was identified with Southampton's social life, and had one of its "finest places," but had been leasing it since the death of her mother in 1922.

[5] In the summer of 1926, Mr. & Mrs. Edward F. Hutton leased the house, where they gave several parties for their daughter Adelaide, one of New York's more notable debutantes.

[7] In September of that year, Snowden and his wife gave a benefit lunch at the house for the Women's Maternity Centre, at which the guest of honor was former New York Governor Alfred E.

In 1949, the executors of the estate of John Thomas Smith sold 1-1/2 acres of Red Maples to Ida G. Sutherland.
