Jean Hasbrouck House

The Jean Hasbrouck House is a stone structure in New Paltz with Dutch-style casement windows and a spacious upper floor level. Inside, a wide hallway runs down the center while a distinctive fireplace opening is built directly into the stone walls.

The original structure was a timber building constructed by Jean Hasbrouck in the late 1600s. His son Jacob later replaced it with the stone house, which was completed in the 1720s.

The house is named after Jean Hasbrouck, the father of Jacob who rebuilt it with stone around 1721. It stands as a record of how Dutch families in this region chose to build their homes and organized their daily life in the Hudson Valley.

The house is open to visitors only through guided tours offered from May through October as part of the Historic Huguenot Street museum site. Access is provided exclusively by the museum, so plan your visit accordingly.

The house operated as both a family residence and a village store during the 1700s, mixing domestic and commercial functions under one roof. The fireplace here is unusual because it has no separate frame around the opening, making it a rare surviving example of this early building technique.
