Casparus F. Pruyn House, Federal style historic house in Newtonville, New York, United States.

The Casparus F. Pruyn House features a two-story rectangular structure with five bays, stone lintels, and symmetrically placed end chimneys rising above a flat roof.

Built between 1824 and 1836, this residence belonged to Casparus F. Pruyn, who served as the primary business agent for the Van Rensselaer family's extensive land holdings.

The property currently functions as the historical and cultural arts center for the Town of Colonie, preserving local heritage through educational programs and exhibitions.

Located at 207 Old Niskayuna Road, the five-acre property includes original outbuildings such as a carriage house, smokehouse, woodshed, and the relocated Verdoy Schoolhouse.

The house contains an exceptionally large entry hall measuring 16 by 20 feet and features a basement cooking fireplace with an offset beehive oven.
