9. The Scott-Edwards House, 1730

The Scott-Edwards House is a beautiful example of Dutch Colonial architecture combined with the Greek Revival style of the 1800s. The one and one-and-a-half story structure, with a stone basement, was built in 1730, on a parcel of land from the Governor Dongan grant of 1677. The house’s Greek Revival additions were made in 1840, when it became the home of Judge Ogden Edwards, descendant of Jonathan Edwards and the first New York Supreme Court Justice to have come from Staten Island.

The early 18th century section of house is a combination of bold-faced ashlar masonry and sandstone on the ground floor, with clapboard above, and the 1840s remodeling added a Greek Revival portico to the structure: a long, sweeping roof supported by seven box columns. The house rests a short distance away of Clove Lakes Park, on Delafield Avenue.

The Scott-Edwards House is located on 752 Delafield Avenue
