The James Vanderpoel House is a distinguished example of Federal period architecture. Originally the home of a prominent lawyer and politician, James Vanderpoel, and his family, the house reflects an elegant lifestyle in a prosperous, early 19th-century village. The fashionable Federal style emphasized lightness of proportion, symmetry, and delicate ornamentation.
The property is owned and operated by the Columbia County Historical Society, and is currently undergoing restoration.
