If a house were an official greeter for the West Meadow region, then it would surely be the Gamecock Cottage, a simple structure that stands guard over the wetlands at the head of West Meadow Creek. Although originally constructed on Cedar Beach in 1864, it was later moved to West Meadow where it was used to store boats. It was acquired by the Melville family in the 1930s and eventually became the responsibility of the Ward Melville Heritage Organization and Brookhaven Town.
