Steenburg Tavern

Located on the west side of Route 9, it was originally built about 1749^[2] and expanded in the late 18th century. A 1749 map shows Joachim Radcliff living on the property; he was likely the original builder. A 1798 map indicates that it was by then a tavern owned by Benjamin van Steenburg.^[2]

It is a four bay wide, two bay deep stone building built into a hillside. It features a sweeping gable roof and broad low verandah. The overhang of the front roof, sheltering a porch is a typical Dutch feature. Also on the property is a contributing carriage barn and privy. Originally built as a farmhouse,^[2] it was acquired as a dependency for Grasmere, as did the Benner House and Fredenburg House, by the mid-19th century.^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.^[1]
