David Crawford House
David Crawford House, Neoclassical historic house in Newburgh, New York.
The David Crawford House is a Neoclassical mansion on Montgomery Street featuring a grand facade supported by four Ionic columns and a Palladian window. The structure displays Greek Revival design elements characteristic of early 19th-century residential architecture.
The mansion was constructed between 1830 and 1831 for David Crawford, a merchant who accumulated his wealth through Hudson River shipping operations. The property has long appeared on historic records, reflecting the importance of maritime commerce to the region.
The house now serves as headquarters for the Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and The Highlands, housing collections focused on the area's past. Visitors can explore exhibits and archival materials that document local heritage and community stories.
The house is located at 189 Montgomery Street and welcomes visitors on Sundays and during special events throughout the year. It is advisable to check opening times in advance as availability varies seasonally.
Inside, a free-standing staircase features mahogany balusters topped with a newel post carved into the shape of a dolphin head. This hand-crafted detail reveals the skilled artisanship invested in the interior design.
