History
The American Hotel's brick house went up in 1846 during Sag Harbor's whaling boom. In 1876 Freeman and Youngs added the white-columned porch and the hotel name. After later decline, Ted Conklin reopened the restaurant on July 4, 1972, and rebuilt the wine cellar into a Grand Award list. Eight rooms remain.
