Dr. Samuel MacKenzie Elliott House
Dr. Samuel MacKenzie Elliott House is an 1840〔 historic home located at West New Brighton, Staten Island, New York. It was one of 22 similar houses in the area designed and built as investments by Scottish born Samuel Mackenzie Elliott, an oculist and eye surgeon who boasted prominent clients like John Jacob Astor, Peter Cooper, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Horace Greeley.〔 So great was his influence on the first settlement of this part of the north shore of Staten Island that the neighborhood was then known as "Elliotville".〔 It is a -story, dark grey, locally quarried stone cottage in the Gothic style cottage. It has a gable roof with a small, pointed arch window under the rear gable.〔 ''See also:'' 〕
Elliot was an active abolitionist, and this house, along with his own, was reputedly outfitted as a refuge for slaves escaping the United States via the Underground Railroad.〔
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.〔 and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1967.
