Freeman House (Guilderland, New York)
Historic house in New York, United States
Freeman House is a historic home located at Guilderland in Albany County, New York. The original house (the center and eastern section) was built about 1734; a western addition was built about 1750; and a rear ell was added about 1800. It is a two-story Dutch Colonial house with a gable roof and built of large, smooth finished beams. It is one of the finest and oldest colonial period buildings in Guilderland,[2] and may be the oldest frame house in Guilderland.[3]
Following the American Revolution, the home belonged to Revolutionary War veteran Barent Mynderse.[3]
When photographer Nelson E. Baldwin photographed the house in 1937 as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey, it was covered in a synthetic brick siding, which has since been removed.[3] A historic marker stands in front of the house.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
