Washingtonian Hall

Washingtonian Hall is a two-story wooden house with five window sections, a centered front door, and detailed trim work throughout. The structure contains four fireplaces and was moved to its present location in 1924.

The house was built between 1799 and 1800 in the Federal architectural style popular at the time. Its relocation decades later brought additions in the Colonial Revival style that reflect changing tastes.

The Patterson family hosted temperance movement gatherings here, and the rooms reflect how people of the early 1800s organized their domestic spaces. Visitors can see the careful craftsmanship that shaped daily life in that period.

The grounds feature a brick driveway and secondary buildings including a garden house and pergola. When visiting, note that the interior has steam heating and electrical systems that date back to 1924.

Behind the house grows a Siberian Elm tree officially recognized by New York State as the largest of its kind in the state. This tree predates the house and continues to thrive on the property.
