The Kreuzer-Pelton House is a Dutch-influenced fieldstone house, erected in 1722 as a one room cottage, which has been added to in two successive stages, just before the American Revolution in 1770, and in 1836. It is designated as a New York City landmark. The house was built by Joseph Rolph.[2]
During the Revolutionary War, Tory militia commander Cortlandt Skinner used the house as his headquarters. William IV of the United Kingdom was a guest at the house.[3]
