It is believed that the house at 1100 Old Northern Boulevard was built by Daniel Noon in 1830 and originally occupied the south side of what today is Northern Boulevard and Middle Neck Road. It was moved to its present location, on Old Northern Boulevard on “Roslyn Hill”, in October 1907 in order to accommodate the laying of the Mineola - Roslyn and Port Washington street car tracks. At the time of the relocation it was sold by Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hackett to William J. Strong who left it in his will to his son Edgar Strong in 1941.

Major alterations were undertaken in 1907, at the time of the move, to make its’ dimensions conform to the smaller Roslyn lot on which it was placed. A first floor west addition may have been removed due to lack of breadth of the new lot along with the removal of a south facade porch. A new porch then was built across the front of the house. Exact dating of the original structure and subsequent alterations are difficult to determine due to the extensive use in the original building of recycled materials from an earlier time and structure. The house has undergone numerous alterations and structural changes during the early part of the 20th century and periods of deterioration. In 1985 major alterations were done to reconstruct the front porch and chimney. It was “saved” by Roger and Peggy Gerry in 1993 and restored in 1994 to its 1907 -1910 appearance. One significant departure was the addition of a two story gabled wing on the north side where it had originally been one story. The restoration involved noted scholars, local historians and architects and nationally known consultants.
