The house was built circa 1800 at a time when Chincoteague Island was transforming itself from pastureland into a community of homes and farms. The Captain Timothy Hill House represents the only known survivor of these early homes and is also only one of two known buildings still standing in Virginia that was built to have a wooden chimney...surprisingly common in the day! After much research and restoration, its historical significance is now here for all to see.
The house was listed on The Virginia Landmarks Register and The National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
