Those interested in New York's Dutch architecture will enjoy reading Bob Gardinier's article, A Dutch Past Worth Preserving, from today's Albany Times Union.
The article describes the efforts of the Van Hoesen House Historical Foundation to save the 278 year old Jan Van Hoesen House, one of only "about a dozen pre-Revolutionary War Dutch homes still standing in New York. It is just south of the circa 1737 Luykas Van Allen House [visited several times by the Building Conservation program], which is maintained as a museum by the Columbia County Historical Society in the town of Kinderhook on Route 9H." The photograph above is from the Albany Times Union's web site.
