Warren Hull House, Historic stone house in Lancaster, New York.
Description
The Warren Hull House is a historic stone residence in Lancaster, New York, built in Federal style with thick stone walls constructed to last through harsh winters. The property includes a family burial plot located at the rear.
History
Warren Hull, a Revolutionary War veteran, built this house around 1810 after purchasing land from the Holland Land Company in Erie County. The construction marked the beginning of European settlement in this part of western New York.
Culture
The home reflects early American settlement patterns, as Hull moved westward from Connecticut to establish one of the first farms in Lancaster. This movement shows how early farmers opened new territory and built new communities in the region.
Practical
The Hull Family Home Association manages the property and offers guided tours during spring, summer, and fall by scheduling an appointment in advance. Visitors should call ahead to confirm availability and learn about access conditions.
Did you know?
