About
Poillon-Seguine-Britton House was a historic home located in Great Kills, Staten Island, New York, near Great Kills Harbor.

It was a substantial, 2+1⁄2-story, stone-and-wood structure in the local vernacular style. The interior had some notable Greek Revival style details.
It was designated a New York City landmark in 1981 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, only to be burned in 1989 and demolished in 1996.
