The house was built in 1840 and moved to this location in 1907. In 1994-1995 The Roslyn Preservation Corp undertook a major renovation, taking the house down to the studs and rebuilding it, as well as adding the kitchen and rear upper bedroom and bath.

If you love the architectural details and warmth of a historic home, the William J Strong House, circa 1840, in the historic village of Roslyn (about 25 miles east of New York City on Long Island) will enchant you. Imagine sitting on the broad front porch on summer evenings, or enjoying the cozy fireplace in the Parlor on cold winter nights. Adjacent to the Parlor, there's a lovely room that could be used as a Dining Room or Den. The kitchen features custom wood cabinets and counters, as well as eat-in space, a pantry and a broom closet. There's a Powder Room off a hallway. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and a full bath. A bluestone patio is accessed through the kitchen, where there's plenty of room for a table, chairs and lounge furniture, as well as a gas grill. In addition. if you go up the circular stairs in the patio, and walk along a landscaped pathway, you will come to a secluded upper terrace..

The house has wide plank pine floors throughout, central air conditioning, gas heat, and a security system
