Overwhelmingly white, Staten Island has dozens of distinct neighborhoods
or towns, and it has the highest proportion of single-family housing
and owner-occupied housing in the city. Staten Island has many homes
dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Of special interest are the
Conference House (1680), where futile peace negotiations were held between
the British and American representatives in 1776 during the American
Revolution (1775-1783), and the Voorlezer's House (1695), the nation's
oldest surviving elementary school building.
