10. The Peter Houseman House, 1730

The Peter Houseman House, located at Westerleigh, consists of two sections: one built around 1730 and one built around 1760. The 1730 wing is one-and-a-half stories, made of fieldstone and painted white. The newer wing is also one-and-a-half stories, with a gable roof. Millwright Peter Houseman expanded the house, having purchased it from Thomas Dongan, the great-nephew of Thomas Dongan – 2nd Earl of Limerick and the fifth Colonial Governor of New York. It remains privately owned.
