The Dominy family presided over a remarkable domain from their little shops on North Main Street in East Hampton. They were located there as early as 1760 through 1840, spanning three generations. Nathaniel IV, Nathaniel V, and Felix (father, son, and grandson) produced 90 clocks and nearly 900 tables, dressers, desks, and chairs. They repaired watches and guns, and built houses and windmills. On or off the workbench, no job was too big or too small.
