Sylvester Manor, Colonial estate in Shelter Island, United States.
The Georgian manor house contains 46 rooms spread across multiple floors, including a basement, with porches adorned by climbing roses.
The original land was purchased by Nathaniel Sylvester in 1651 from Stephen Goodyear and later reacquired from the Manhansett People in 1652.
The estate maintains a working organic farm that supplies fresh produce to local markets and restaurants while hosting educational programs about agriculture.
The Manor House currently undergoes preservation work through a Capital Campaign focused on rehabilitating the exterior and developing a History Center.
The property includes a cemetery with unmarked graves of enslaved individuals who worked on the estate until their emancipation in 1820.
