Garrison Grist Mill Historic District

Set among the fairways of a golf course near Garrison Four Corners, this 13.4-acre district preserves a small eighteenth-century farm complex from the Hudson Highlands. It includes a one-and-a-half-story frame farmhouse with a steeply pitched Dutch-style roof, a roughly fifty-foot-square Dutch barn with large H-frame bents, a two-and-a-half-story heavy timber grist mill, and a quarried stone dam that creates a millpond. Exact construction dates are unknown, but the buildings are thought to date from the mid- to late eighteenth century, possibly connected to the tenant farm established by Jacob Mandeville on Philipse family land. The group was listed for architecture because such intact collections are rare in the mid-Hudson region, and a Dutch barn is unusual in the Highlands. The farmhouse and mill were documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1934. The mill is now deteriorated, though much of its milling equipment remains in the attic and basement.
