Hoffman House "Stockade Historic District" | 845-338-2626 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Hoffman House, registered on the National Landmark of Historic Places, is an excellent example of Early American Dutch rubble architecture, featuring wide planked random width board floors, a fire place in each of the main rooms and many small multi-level rooms. The house, a Dutch Colonial style stone house built about 1679, is now a restaurant and tavern, located in the Stockade Historic District at 94 North Front Street (Corner of Green Street), Kingston, NY 12401 in Ulster County. "An excellent example of early American-Dutch rubble construction, the Hoffman House displays several of the "prototypical" characteristics of Dutch Colonial housing.
"Since serious Dutch colonization in America occurred only from 1626 until 1664, and almost exclusively along the Hudson River between Albany and New Amsterdam (New York City), relatively few examples of Dutch colonial architecture exist in the United States. The Hoffman House, built after the British assumed control of New Netherland (New York State), reflects the survival of Dutch building traditions years after English colonists began pouring into New York.
