A step down Huguenot Street brings us to the Jean Hasbrouck House. Built in 1721 by Jean's son Jacob, though long thought to have been built by Jean, one of the twelve original patentees of the town, it is a good example of Hudson River Valley early architecture. In 1899, it was purchased by the newly formed Huguenot Historical Society, in an effort to preserve the unique history of the street - this in response to the 'modernization' of the Deyo House, seen in the background. It is a museum house, furnished in a mid-1700s style. The windows were late 1700 replacements, reflecting the British influence on the region. This is a three-exposure HDR image, photographed in the early morning.
