Billiou-Stillwell-Perine House, Dutch colonial house in Staten Island, United States.

The Billiou-Stillwell-Perine House displays traditional Dutch colonial architecture with stone walls, varying roof heights, and multiple entrances across different sections.

Pierre Billiou constructed the initial section of the house in 1662 after receiving a land grant from Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant on Staten Island.

The house reflects the early Dutch settlement patterns in New York through its architectural elements, including large beams and a stone hearth fireplace.

Historic Richmond Town maintains the property and permits visitors to explore the interior spaces through scheduled appointments.

A concealed room exists within the structure, connected to local stories despite contradicting the documented loyalist stance of its Revolutionary War occupants.
