The
Jean [Jacob] Hasbrouck House was built by Jacob Hasbrouck,
son of Patentee Jean Hasbrouck and his wife, Anna Deyo
Hasbrouck. It is a dramatic structure built in a
form that is unique in colonial America architecture.
Dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) of the structural
beams indicates that Jacob built this house in 1721. The
Jean [Jacob] Hasbrouck House was the first structure purchased
by the Huguenot Patriotic, Monumental, and Historical
Society (the original name of Historic Huguenot Street)
and has been in operation as a museum since 1899. This
house is currently undergoing substantial restoration
and will reopen in 2008.
