Description
What began as a tiny cluster of settlements established by Puritans fleeing the more restrictive towns to the north had evolved by the late 19th century into one of America's premier resort communities - the Hamptons. This text surveys more than 30 houses, and illustrates a priviledged society at the turn of the century.
