The Cornell-Van Nostrand House (also known as the Schumacher House) is a historic home located in the hamlet of Manhasset Hills, in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, New York, United States.

Description

[edit]

The house was moved to its present location, on the grounds of Clinton G. Martin Park in Manhasset Hills, in 1952.[2][3][4] It is a two-story, architecturally mixed wood-frame building containing an early 19th-century section, two mid-19th-century sections, and an early 20th-century addition. It is arranged in a T-shaped plan on a concrete foundation with brick above grade. It features a single-height portico with square Doric order columns and a simple entablature, built about 1850.[5]

It was designated a Town of North Hempstead Landmark in 2005.[6] Two years later, in 2007, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]

Restoration

[edit]

By the 2010s, the house fell into a state of advanced disrepair, boarded up and exposed to the elements via numerous holes in the roof.[6] In 2017, an extensive rehabilitation & restoration project was subsequently undertaken by the Town of North Hempstead, bringing the structure back to a state of good repair.[6] The project was executed through a $500,000 New York State grant.[6]
