The Abraham (Daniel) Hasbrouck House[1] is a historic stone house located at 94 Huguenot Street in New Paltz, New York, United States. Built in three phases between 1721 and 1734, it is significant for its association with the early settlement of New Paltz by French Huguenots and as an example of evolving architectural styles in the Hudson Valley.[2]
The house is currently opened and operated by the Huguenot Historical Society as a museum interpreting life in New Paltz between 1760 and 1775.
The house's central section was constructed by Daniel Hasbrouck in 1721. Hasbrouck was the son of Abraham Hasbrouck (d. 1717), who immigrated to New Paltz, along with his brother, Jean, in the 1670s. At the time of the house's construction, Daniel shared the residence with Maria Deyo (d. 1741), his mother. The house's north room was added in 1728. In 1734, Daniel Hasbrouck married Wyntje Deyo; the south room was added that same year.
The house remained in the Hasbrouck family until 1911. In 1957, The Reformed Church of New Paltz purchased the property; in 1961, the house was purchased again by the Hasbrouck Family Association,[3] who placed it under the ownership of the Huguenot Historical Society. As of 2025, the house is owned and operated by the Huguenot Historical Society as a museum interpreting life in New Paltz between 1760 and 1775. Ongoing restoration work focuses on preserving the house and presenting an accurate depiction of its historical appearance.[4] A major interior restoration was completed in 2012.
In 2002, dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) revealed the actual construction dates of the three sections, correcting the previous belief that Abraham had built the house between 1692 and 1712.
