Built in 1910 and enlarged in 1929 it was home to William Slocum Barstow, partner of Thomas A. Edison and inventor of the electric meter. It was sold in 1953 to Fredrick W.I. Lundy of Lundys' Restaurant, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY. A bit of an eccentric, Mr. Lundy never lived in the house and in 1975 it was sold to the USMMA Alumni Association, which in turn gave it to the US Government. It is now home to the American Merchant Marine Museum.
