A historic property on Three Mile Harbor Road is preparing for its next act as an essential civic hub. Project MOST, the youth enrichment non-profit serving families across the East End, has introduced architectural plans to transform the long-standing Neighborhood House into a modern Community Learning Center. Designed by regional architect Val Florio, the adaptive reuse project balances historic preservation with purpose-built spaces tailored for local children and working families.
Dating back to the mid-19th century, the Neighborhood House has historically provided care, assembly space, and social services for the local working-class community. The new design keeps the historic roadside structure as its visual anchor while integrating expanded additions in the rear. Once complete, the multi-use campus will house academic classrooms, a health department-certified culinary kitchen, and expansive performance and athletic areas.
The facility will allow Project MOST to centralize its year-round after-school programs, STEM workshops, and summer camps under one roof. Additionally, the site plans honor Freetown’s rich cultural heritage with dedicated historical displays and maintain public rental availability for local community gatherings.
By blending structural restoration with forward-looking youth infrastructure, the project ensures that this historic East Hampton landmark will continue serving neighborhood families for generations to come.
