subject: Dwellings

description: A sepia-toned photograph of the home of Robert Colgate from 1859 to about 1885. This Italianate mansion was built by William Cromwell beginning in 1856; upon his death, his widow sold it to the Colgates for $52,500. Its stonework surrounded by balustrades can still be seen today, as it has been on the National Registry of Historical Places since 1983. This photograph shows the house as seen from the lawns leading down to the Hudson River. It has arched windows in the main house as well as the dormers. There are two figures on the front porch, and the trees in the lawn are quite young.
