Jean Hasbrouck House

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Hasbrouck House on Huguenot Street

The Jean Hasbrouck House is a stone built former residence and today's Museum in New Paltz , New York . It was declared a National Historic Landmark on December 24, 1967 and is the focal point and contributing property of the Huguenot Street Historic District , which has the same status.

The house was built by Jean Hasbrouck's son Jacob in 1721 and may include elements of the house that Jean Hasbrouck built on the same site. It is considered an outstanding example of Dutch architecture in the Hudson Valley and is well preserved.

The floor plan of the house is arranged around the central hall; the storage space under the roof was originally used as an attic. The house also features the postless fireplaces found in the hostel's houses on Huguenot Street. The north wall was completely restored in 2006, with the reproduction of a slug window in the Dutch style.

The house served two purposes in the 18th century: it served as a residence for the members of the family and was a shop where the residents of the small village did their shopping. Several slaves owned by Jean and Jacob Hasbrouck also lived here. Their names are named Gerritt, James and Molly in Jean's will. Several generations of the family members of the Hasbrouck family lived in the house, including Josiah Hasbrouck , who during the presidencies of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison as president of the Member Congress was and Locust Lawn Estate , just outside of New Paltz built.

The house was purchased in 1899 by the organization now known as the Huguenot Historical Society for use as a museum. It has been open to the public ever since. Tours of the house, like the six other museums in the Huguenot Street Historic District, take place between May and October.
