The Greek revival-style mansion was built for whaling Captain Albert Rogers in 1843. The belvedere (sometimes called a widow’s watch) on the top of the roof was a popular feature on many whaling Captain’s homes during the mid 19th century and can be found on many other homes on the South Fork. Captain Rogers died in 1854.

Captain Pelletreau was born in Southampton in 1726. He apprenticed with Goldsmith Simeon Soumain in New York City for seven years and was made a freeman in 1750. He returned to his family home located on Main Street where, in a shop attached to the homestead, he made silver objects and gold jewelry for the rest of his life. He sold his work in New York City through William Ustick, a hardware merchant, and his son, Elias Pelletreau, Jr., who acted as a salesman for his father.
Today the Pelletreau Silver Shop is home to resident jeweler, Eric Messin, who sells his handmade jewelry and teaches jewelry making classes. Call 631-287-0056 for more information.
