 Bevier-Elting House
The
Bevier-Elting House began as the one-room home of Louis
and Marie Bevier, and its orientation to the street is
reminiscent of northern European town architecture. Louis'
son Samuel inherited the house in 1720 and enlarged it
in two phases (1720 and 1735), creating a basement kitchen
with a unique subcellar during the first phase. It was
sold to Josiah Elting (son of Roelof Elting and Sara DuBois,
daughter of Patentee Abraham DuBois) in 1760 for use as
a home and store by his son Roelof, and it remained in
the Elting family until donated to the Society in 1963.
The house is currently interpreted as a mid to late 18th-century
family home.
