7. Vander Ende-Onderdonk House

Construction on the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House was begun by Paulus Vander Ende in 1709. In the 1820’s Adrian Onderdonk, the other half of the house’s name, built a Dutch style addition to the house. The house, which is the oldest Dutch Colonial stone house in New York City, is notable for having been a prominent marker in the 1769 settlement of the boundary dispute between Bushwick in Kings County and Newtown in Queens County. The Greater Ridgewood Historical Society currently administers the house and runs programs there.
