Chichester's Inn

Hospitality Buildings

Chichester's Inn is located along Chichester Road in a wooded section of West Hills, New York. It is a rare surviving example of a seventeenth century inn on Long Island, largely unchanged from its original form, although it now serves as a private house. Walt Whitman, who grew up in the area, and Theodore Roosevelt were among its past patrons. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
