Quogue Life-Saving Station is a historic government building in Quogue, New York. It is a shingle style building constructed in 1912 by the United States Life-Saving Service as a replacement for a deteriorating station from 1849. [2]
It is a 1+1⁄2-story, gable-roofed structure that features a four-story, wood-shingled tower topped by a hipped roof. [3] In 1999, the station was added to the National Register of Historic Places. [1]
The original station was a garage-type building constructed in 1849. It was involved in the rescues of the ships Infanti in 1851 and Europa in 1886. It was replaced in 1872 with a red house, with additional wings added in 1887. This edition of the station assisted with the rescues of the ships Nahum Chapin in 1897 and Augustus Hunt in 1904. The original red house was moved a few hundred yards eastward and is now used as a private home.[ citation needed]
The new, Lorain-style, shingled station was designed by the architect Victor Mendelheff and incorporated into the United States Coast Guard in 1915. It is one of the few remaining examples of this type of structure. It currently functions as a private residence.[ citation needed]
