Denton Homestead is a historic home located at East Rockaway in Nassau County, New York. It was built as a tavern about 1795, and is a -story, five-bay, center-hall-plan, vernacular Colonial style frame dwelling. The Denton family bought it in 1808 and converted to a residential farmhouse. It has a side-gable roof and a hipped roof addition added after the house was moved to its present location in 1924. The front facade features a full-width, shed-roofed front porch. The interior features some Colonial Revival style design elements. Also on the property is a contributing carriage house (c. 1900).
