Also known as the Allen-Beville House, 29 Center Drive, Douglaston (c. 1848-50). Allen acquired property in Douglaston in 1847 and is thought to have erected this house shortly thereafter. The house, one of the few surviving 19th century buildings in Queens constructed as a farm dwelling, was designed in a transitional style; the basic form is Greek Revival, but the cornices on the main house and its porches display Italianate brackets.
