The Thomas Jansen House, also known as Dwaarkill Manor, a historic home located on Jansen Road in the western section of the Town of Shawangunk, in Ulster County, New York, USA. It is a Dutch stone house built first in 1727 by Jansen, an early settler of the area. In 1780, his family built the current house; the original survives as a rear wing, a common practice in the area.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
