The Reichert Family Center, known as the Beckwith store, is located on property once owned by 17th century Southold settlers, John conk;ynge, Richard Clark and John Salmon. The building was built c1850 by the Lester family. The house changed hands until purchased by Capt. Sherburne Beckwith in 1864. He built a new house to the west of the original building and ran a small dry goods business from his store building. In 1982 the store building was acquired by Robert W. Gilispic, III who ran a real estate business there for thirty years. After his death in 2009 the Society purchased the building (in 2011.) Today it is used as exhibition space.
