It was built about 1823 by Stiles Hotchkiss, first as a distillery and later converted to a residence.","why_significant":"The house is associated with the Hotchkiss family, founders of the village of Windsor, and is the birthplace of Jedediah Hotchkiss, cartographer to Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. It is also believed to be the only early nineteenth century stone house in Broome County, with massive masonry walls and simple Federal styling.","narrative":"Built about 1823 on a rise overlooking the Susquehanna Valley, the Old Stone House at 10 Chestnut Street in Windsor, New York, began as a distillery erected by Stiles Hotchkiss on land his father had received from the founding Hotchkiss family. Between 1823 and 1828 he converted it into a family home. The two-story building has walls of roughly squared creek and fieldstone, three feet thick at the base, under a gable roof, with a five-bay front and simple Federal styling. It is believed to be the only early nineteenth century stone house in Broome County. Jedediah Hotchkiss was born here in 1828 and later served as mapmaker to General Stonewall Jackson, helping plan marches that included the Chancellorsville campaign. A cellar opening that once led to a tunnel is linked by local tradition to the Underground Railroad. The house was sold out of the family in 1862, has been altered over time, and remains a residence with a small Civil War museum behind it.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Stiles Hotchkiss","architectural_style":"Federal (simple Federal styling)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; a Civil War museum is in a small building behind the house.
