VANDER-ENDE ONDERDONK HOUSE
This house was built by Paulus Vander Ende, a Dutch farmer, in
about 1709. The smaller wooden wing was erected much later.
In the early 1800s, the property was purchased by the Onderdonk
family.
With federal, state and city landmark status, the house’s features
include heavy fieldstone walls, a wooden-shingle gambrel roof,
and large brick chimneys. The interior is mainly exposed postand
beam construction with wooden floors. There are double
Dutch doors and numerous small, shuttered windows. In the
cellar stands an old fireplace that was once used for the kitchen.
On display inside the house are objects found during excavations
conducted in the 1970s and 1980s as well as architectural and
historical exhibits.
Inside scoop: This is the oldest Dutch-American farmhouse in
New York City.
