Poillon-Seguine-Britton House, Greek Revival residence in Great Kills, Staten Island, United States.

The Poillon-Seguine-Britton House contained detailed architectural elements with a symmetrical facade, grand columns, and stone-and-wood construction spanning multiple stories.

Built around 1695 for French immigrant Jacques Poillon, the house underwent major expansions in 1845 for Joseph Seguine and in 1930 for Richard Britton.

The structure represented the evolution of residential architecture in Staten Island, from colonial settlement through early twentieth-century modifications.

The National Register of Historic Places listed property stood near Great Kills Harbor until its demolition in 1996 following severe fire damage in 1989.

Architect Robert C. Hornfager designed the final 1930 expansion, transforming the colonial home into a substantial local vernacular structure.
