John Schoolcraft House
John Schoolcraft House, Gothic Revival house in Guilderland, New York, US.
The John Schoolcraft House features gingerbread vergeboards, pinnacles with crockets, lancet windows, and horizontal beaded siding across its fifteen-room structure.
Built in 1835, the residence belonged to U.S. Congressman John L. Schoolcraft until his death in 1860 and received National Register recognition in 1982.
The interior maintains six original fireplaces and a ballroom with decorative plaster crown molding, reflecting residential architectural standards of the 1830s.
The town purchased and renovated the property in 1994, adding modern electricity, plumbing, heating, and climate control systems while preserving historical elements.
The house combines wooden and cast iron finials, with the metal components sourced from John Schoolcraft's personal foundry near the property.
