Jacob Rutsen Van Rensselaer House and Mill Complex
Jacob Rutsen Van Rensselaer House and Mill Complex, Historic house and mill complex in Claverack, United States
The property includes fourteen connected buildings, featuring a two-story brick main house with an English basement and two distinctive octagonal chambers.
The house, constructed around 1805 by Jacob Rutsen Van Rensselaer, replaced an earlier structure that belonged to his father, General Robert Van Rensselaer.
During the late 20th century, the residence became a creative hub for Merchant Ivory Productions, hosting numerous acclaimed actors and film production activities.
The complex includes multiple structures such as barns, a former office, waterworks, and an Italianate dwelling with four additional outbuildings for various purposes.
Film director James Ivory purchased the property in 1975 for $105,000 and meticulously restored the buildings while using them for screenplay writing and film editing.
