John Kane House

The John Kane House features American Colonial architecture with a two-story frame structure, stone foundation, and multiple brick chimneys throughout the building.

During the Revolutionary War in 1778, George Washington established his headquarters at the John Kane House after the property was confiscated from its Loyalist owner.

The building incorporates three distinct architectural styles: American Colonial, Greek Revival, and Federal, reflecting the evolution of residential design across several decades.

Located at latitude 41.556111 and longitude -73.594167, the John Kane House functions as the headquarters of the Historical Society of Quaker Hill and Pawling.

The original kitchen wing from 1740 remains intact, displaying minimal interior decorations compared to the more ornate main block added in later construction phases.
