Douglaston Historic District is a national
historic district in
Douglaston, Queens,
New York. It includes 631 contributing buildings and three contributing sites on a mile-long peninsula extending into
Little Neck Bay. All but one of the buildings are in residential use and the majority were built in the early- to mid-20th century as a planned suburban community known as Douglas Manor. In the early 20th century, the Rickert-Finlay Realty Company of
Manhattan purchased of the Douglas' family holdings, and formed the Douglas Manor Association, creating a planned community. Many of the houses in this area were built in architectural styles popular at the time, such as
Tudor,
Mediterranean,
Colonial Revival, and
Arts and Crafts. Located within the district are the separately listed
Cornelius Van Wyck House (c. 1735) and
Allen-Beville House (c. 1848-1850). Another notable early building is the Van Zandt manor house (c. 1819), which is now the Douglaston Club.
