Wynkoop House

The Wynkoop House, located in Saugerties, New York, is a historic stone house built around 1740 by descendants of Dutch settlers. This well-preserved example of 18th-century Dutch architecture features a rectangular design with a gabled roof, dormer windows, and original wooden trim. The house reflects the cultural significance of Dutch colonists who resisted assimilation into English culture, maintaining their building traditions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and has a rich history, including ownership by the Wynkoop family until the early 20th century. Today, it stands as a private residence, showcasing unique architectural elements and historical significance that attract both tourists and researchers interested in early American colonial life.
