Other Information
 

 

 * A number of surviving features date from the original construction of the house: the wide rough-hewn floor boards, deep window sills, the staircase, the fireplace surround and historic iron fire back, a Dutch door with original hardware, and a chimney made from Wallkill River mud bricks. The building itself is constructed of fine Dutch stone masonry, with later repairs made in an Italian masonry style.
