Jacob Sloat House, Greek Revival house in Sloatsburg, New York, United States.
The Jacob Sloat House sits on a two-acre lot with a granite foundation, rising three stories above the Ramapo River with a full-length veranda.
Built between 1846 and 1848, the residence belonged to textile merchant Jacob Sloat, who invented the cap spindle and gimlet-pointed wood screw.
The interior features twin fireplaces with veined marble mantels, central-hall design, and original woodwork representing mid-19th century American residential architecture.
The Town of Ramapo currently owns the property and allows volunteers to work on preservation efforts to establish a historic house museum.
Artist Jasper Cropsey, a close friend of Jacob Sloat, possibly contributed to the design of this house that blends Greek Revival with Italianate elements.
