History

The original section was built in 1747 and the larger main portion dates to 1811. A kitchen wing was added in 1880. It is one and one half stories with steeply pitched gable roofs, curved projecting eaves, and end chimneys. The main entrance features a Dutch door.[3] It was relocated in approximately 1900 to align with the new street grid.[4]

The house was designated as a New York City Landmark in 1976,[5] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

Residents

The house is named after a series of families who lived in it, from the time of its construction up until the 1920s.[6] Its initial construction is believed to have been completed by an ancestor of Garret Stoothoff.[7] The addition in 1811 was constructed by John Baxter, who married Garret Stoothoff's daughter[7] and inherited the home in 1796.[4] Baxter's ghost is rumoured to haunt the house.[8] William Kouwenhoven married Abigail Baxter, daughter of John, and the house passed into that family's name.[7]
