English: "This monumental Greek Revival style house has been generally recognized as one of the most important buildings of its type in the country. Its symmetrical massing, bold scale, and grandly austere detail are an extraordinary symbol of the increasing wealth and power of America during the decade of the 1830s. The house also reflects the importance of the Jay family in a maturing nation."
-- Andrew Dolkart, architectural historian."
It is one of three contiguous, pre-Civil War structures extant in their original landscapes on Boston Post Road. The veranda of the house overlooks a 10,000+ year old Paleo-Indian archaeological site and the oldest man-managed meadow on record in New York State.
