A famed Hamptons “stilt’ house that has been perched up on wooden pillars for more than 70 years toppled into the bay following a stretch of brutal cold weather that struck the Northeast US. The abandoned beach house — long known for standing tall in the waters off the South Fork of Long Island in Amagansett — collapsed into Gardiners Bay on Saturday night, News 12 Long Island reported. The aging wooden supports that kept the house elevated for decades gave way after Winter Storm Fern battered New York and prolonged a deep freeze that followed, icing over the bay beneath the home.
