Dutch Colonial Stone House and Local Antiques
In the kitchen, an 18th-century English swing-leg table is surrounded by Pennsylvania plank-seat chairs. The crock nearest the center box on the mantel was made by a member of the Van Deusen family.
The Van Deusen House in Hurley, New York, was built in 1723 as a story-and-a-half stone cottage with a kitchen ell. This simple form (not the bell-shaped gambrel we usually dub “Dutch Colonial”) is rooted in medieval Dutch architecture.
The old Hudson Valley house underwent a major renovation in 1909 when three dormers were added, the central staircase was re-configured, and fireplaces that had been bricked over during the 19th century were uncovered. Otherwise, the house has remained more or less as built.
The owners, who are both antiques dealers, were conversant in different types and eras of antiques, but living in the Van Deusen House has heightened their appreciation for furniture, ironwork, fabrics, and crockery made in this area. Piece by piece, they have filled the house with things that fit the mellow old rooms: hooked rugs and quilts made in Hurley, furniture produced for country homes by long-ago area cabinetmakers, local hand-hammered metal. Metalwork has been of particular interest; the house’s first owner and namesake was a blacksmith, and much historic ironwork was original to the house.
In the master bedroom, American Empire furniture shares space with the current owner’s crewel embroidery, 18th-century Austrian ironwork, and an early 19th-century Chinese oxblood flambe vase.
The furnishings in the Van Deusen House are not all from the 18th century (though many are), nor is there a strict geographical criteria for the collection. Well-loved objects came from this very house, or from this town, or China, and from places in between. But the furnishing scheme relates to this house and to the agricultural history of Hurley. The home is furnished with antiques that show us things about the lives of Hudson River Valley farmers across three centuries.
It isn’t surprising that the owners assembled a collection so sensitive to local history. From the moment they moved here, they began to work to heighten appreciation of Hurley’s antiquities; the wife was instrumental, in fact, in starting the Hurley Heritage Society.
The Town’s Turbulent History This is still a place of cornfields, old stone houses, and rural serenity. Local pride in the Dutch architecture is high; Hurley itself is a National Historic Landmark. The Van Deusen house has played a prominent role. The most compelling feature of the village is the superb collection of stone houses lining either side of Main Street. They were built starting in 1669, after the first log huts put up by 12 Dutch and Huguenot families in 1661 were burned by the Exopus Indians of the Algonquin Nation. By then the territory was English, and Nieuw Dorp (New Village) was renamed Hurley, after Governor Francis Lovelace’s ancestral home in England. The front door and exterior shutters are painted a historical blue. During the American Revolution, the English burned Kingston, New York’s colonial capital. Hurley became a refuge for Kingston residents, and for one month in 1777, the state’s capital. The Senate chamber was the Van Deusen House dining room (reportedly because its living room was too cold). The house was also a hiding place for state papers, and a prison for the noted Tory Cadwallader Colden. Around 1797, Isabelle Hardenberg was born a slave in another of Hurley’s stone houses. She became famous as the abolitionist and evangelist Sojourner Truth; rumors persist claiming the town was on the Underground Railroad.

Booms and sirens in israel after iran launches over 200 missiles and drones in unprecedented attack, things to do, stone house day offers tours of historic colonial era stone homes in hurley on july 13.
Hurley’s annual Stone House Day returns with tours of eight privately owned colonial era stone houses on Saturday, July 12.
The homes, built over an approximately 100-year period between 1685 and 1786, will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. rain or shine.
Hurley’s historic Main Street will be closed to traffic to provide a safe, leisurely tour of the five homes in the center of town. A free Ulster County Area Transit shuttle bus allows ticket holders to reach the three remaining stone homes on the tour.
The event, sponsored by the Hurley Reformed Church, is in its 69th year.
As visitors tour the homes, they’ll be greeted by costumed guides who will help them take a step back in time. Check out a display of past and present cross-stitched pieces and learn cross stitching with crafter Lori Baker at the Anthony Crispell House, which serves as the Hurley Reformed Church’s parsonage.
Don’t forget to take a tour of the home, built in 1725 by farmer Jonathan Crispell, and check out an interactive table for children and those “young of heart.” The home stayed in the Crispell family until 1836, when it was sold to the church and became a parsonage.
In the parsonage yard, the 3rd Ulster County Militia re-enactment group and the members’ wives will offer a view of what camp life was like and offer musket demonstrations.
Actress Debra Zuill will offer a dramatic rendition of of Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech. Truth, who was born into slavery in Ulster County, gave this speech in 1851 as she bravely battled against the social injustice and lack of freedoms black women faced.
Homemade food will be served in the church hall throughout the day. There will also be a home-baked goods booth.
The Hurley Library will host a book sale. The Hurley Genealogical Society and the Hurley Heritage Museum will be open to the public.
Other featured houses on main street include:
* The Dr. Richard Ten Eyck house, the only full two-story stone house. Built by the doctor as a wedding gift to his wife, Jenett Baker, in 1786, the home indicated the family’s wealth and social standing.
* The Jan VanDeusen house, built in 1723. This house, built as one unit, is one of the earliest rural Georgian cottages built in the town. Its parlor served as the meeting room for the New York State Committee of Safety during the Revolutionary War in October and November of 1777.
* The Van Etten/Dumond (Spy) House, built prior to 1685, is the oldest colonial house in the town. During October and November of 1777, the house was used by the Continental Army as a guard house where prisoners and a “spy” were held in the basement.
* The Colonel Jonathan Elmendorf House, built between 1783 and 1790, which now houses the Hurley Heritage Society Museum.
Admission is $18 for adults, $13.50 for seniors ages 60 and older and students ages 12 to 18, and $1.80 for children ages 6 to 12. Visit stonehouseday.org for tickets or more information.
