 In 1784 the property came into the possession of the Davenport family, and so is currently known as Davenport Neck.Generations of the Davenport family, and other owners after them made further changes to the house, so that the original structure built by Antoine Lispenard and Joseph Rodman is largely invisible.In the 1860s, the original roof was replaced by a modified mansard, topped by a cupola.
