Reviews
"It’s kind of a shame that this historic building was allowed to just sit and crumble. It was home to Cadwallader Colden Jr. who was a Tory, and lieutenant governor for the King. When I was a child maybe 10 years old, 55 years ago, I can remember that the third story mansard roof was partially in place although even at that time restoration would’ve been extensive! There were also buildings behind it that were slave quarters. One of the lower parlors woodwork is in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City and can be seen by looking it up on Google."
"No trespassing signs, just a parking area."
"I grew up in this area. When I was a child in the 1970s the area around the house was largely still farmland and recently abandoned farmland. We played in these places, including the CM. Shamefully, the towns failed to preserve the one-room stone schoolhouse not far from CM, and the many beautiful and old farmhouses. Allowed to rot away or be converted into cheap shops. At least this once amazing home's ghost shell is still with us. The War of Independence was really a civil war and the Coldens were on the losing side. There were also slave quarters near the main house. It should be preserved and people reminded that the North and its elites had slaves. Have a professional dig at the site."
"The sign says " future site" and no trespassing per order of police. I would wait until it is actually possible to walk around it"
"This is amazing place. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, after the construction of Route 747 nearby and the completion of other Stewart Airport access improvements, including the re-routing of the southern end of Stone Castle Road a hundred feet (30 m) westward, away from the ruins, to form a four-way intersection with 747."
