Farmingville, New York - On Wednesday, January 23, Councilwoman Connie Kepert, along with members of the Gordon Heights Chamber of Commerce, took a tour of the newly completed Mott House located at 68 Middle Country Road in Coram.

The Mott House was built in 1824 on land originally owned by William C. Howell. Seaman Albert Mott and his wife, Joanna, later lived in the home with their seven children. The Town of Brookhaven began construction of the replica after the original house collapsed during renovations in 2009. The replica was built using several pieces of the original 185-year old house that were able to be salvaged. The house will be used by the Town of Brookhaven Parks Department and the Gordon Heights Chamber of Commerce, who will host educational forums and community events there.

“I am very happy and excited that this project has been completed and the Mott House will once again serve as a beautiful and historical landmark for this community and a gathering place for the Gordon Heights Chamber of Commerce,” stated Councilwoman Kepert.
