Elkanah Watson House, National Historic Landmark stone house in Port Kent, New York, US
The Elkanah Watson House features a two-story masonry structure built from ashlar granite with a truncated hip roof and a central square belvedere.
Built in 1828, the residence belonged to Elkanah Watson, a Revolutionary-era diplomat who promoted canal development in New York State until his death in 1842.
The property includes a family cemetery where Elkanah Watson rests, representing an important connection to early American agricultural development and transportation infrastructure.
Located at the intersection of Lake Street and South Streets, the private residence remains closed to public visits but maintains its original architectural elements.
The house displays distinctive round windows on the ground floor and features a two-story portico with round columns supporting a pedimented gable.
