Gatehouse Sourcing
[edit]I have sourced the information on the North Gatehouse using my own website because I took the guided tour and have two images of the site, posted here. (Please delete images after this has been confirmed).
Lindenwald
[edit]Does anyone know if Lindenwald is really meant to be a German word? Wald is also used in many eastern Dutch dialects and it could also be just early modern Dutch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.249.49.241 (talk) 08:39, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Schlesinger
[edit]Quoting a March 5, 1938 article in the New York Sun, Arthur Schlesinger Jr in his The Age of Jackson, wrote: "Peter Van Ness had built the great brick house in 1797 in a Hudson River adaptation of colonial Georgian. As a boy in Kinderhook Van Buren had doubtless looked with awe on the Van Ness mansion. Now he proceeded to improve it, according to random tastes picked up in Europe; and his revision of Lindenwald became an early item in the conspiracy of imported culture against the native architecture. The interior was remodeled on Gothic lines. Dormer windows in the attic broke up the sweep of the roof, and gingerbread adorned the eaves. A fondness for Italian added a four-story tower in the rear of the house and concealed the stately front door behind a heavy piazza. 108.28.145.40 (talk) 05:20, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
