Davis Town Meeting House

Davis Town Meeting House is a Georgian-style building in Coram, New York, situated north of Middle Country Road. The structure displays classic colonial architectural features with traditional design elements characteristic of the late 1700s.

The building served as the main gathering place for Brookhaven town meetings from 1790 to 1885. It lost this role when the town reorganized into separate voting districts.

The structure represents early American democratic principles through its function as a communal space where residents gathered to make decisions affecting their community.

The building is accessible for viewing from outside, and its Georgian architecture is clearly visible. Visitors should treat the grounds respectfully and be aware of its protected historical status.

The property remained under ownership of direct male descendants of Foulk Davis, who arrived on Long Island in 1642, until the early 2000s. This continuity of family ownership spanning generations reflects deep ties to the local area.
