Garret J. Durie House

Built c. 1811

An early 19th century example of Dutch Colonial architecture erected by Garret J. Durie on part of the estate of his father, John Durie. Garret J. Durie was a farmer whose 120 acre tract stretched eastward one mile to the Tenakill Brook. Located in what was once known as Schraalenburg, the house was occupied by Durie heirs – the Westervelt and Mount families – until 1946.
