Bevier House - Huguenot Street, New Paltz, N.Y.

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

Dating to the very early 18th century, the house was originally a one-room building built with the narrow or gable end facing the street—then the prevailing style of the low countries of Northern Europe. Two expansions were built later and a small cellar housed African slaves. The house was built by the Bevier family, one of the founding families, and subsequently sold to the Dutch Elting family. Huguenot Street Historic District, a National Historic Landmark, was created to preserve the oldest continuously inhabited street in America with its original houses, a wonderful collection exhibiting Dutch vernacular architecture and furnishings. #Dutch #Huguenot_Street #New_Paltz #stone_houses
