Located at 949 Flanders Rd the Blue Barn is a mid 19th century carriage barn that was acquired by the Town of Southampton, with community preservation funds, from the Mildred Klokis family in 2010. The Blue Barn is situated on property that had been the site of a popular turn of the century 25 room summer hotel, known as 'Havens House', that was destroyed by fire in 1924. The exterior of the structure was renovated in the 1970's to facilitate it's use as an antiques shop, which Mildred lovingly operated for a period of thirty years.
