Meadow Creek (Centre Island, New York)

Meadow Creek was built for Mr. and Mrs. George E. Stedman prior to 1900. Mr. Stedman died in 1902 and his wife and daughter continued to reside there until about 1920 at which point the home was sold to Charles Ketcham.

Charles Belden Ketcham resided at Meadow Creek with his wife Suzanne Brightson, daughter of George Brightson, the owner of neighboring Harbour Point. Ketcham was a member of the New York Stock Exchange and the son of Major General John H. Ketcham.

The home was subsequently owned by William Morris Stiger, a yacht designer for Sparkman & Stephens. Stiger was an avid yachtsman first sailing with the Cedarhurst Yacht Club and for many years with the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and the Cruising Club of America.
