Hasbrouck, Maj. Jacob, Jr. House
Why it's listed
Along Huguenot Street at the northern edge of New Paltz, a stone farmhouse built in 1786 for Major Jacob Hasbrouck, Jr. was once the centerpiece of a 400-acre farm. Hasbrouck, a grandson of patentee Jean Hasbrouck, served as town supervisor, held a militia commission during the Revolution, and ranked among the town's highest taxpayers. The house has load-bearing stone walls twenty inches thick and follows the traditional Ulster County three-room plan of parlor, hall and kitchen, with an added central passage that gave it a more formal layout. Around 1810 his son Jacob J. Hasbrouck added a stone outlet across the rear, whose passage keeps marbleized plaster, a Neoclassical archway and original doors. Dormers were added in 1876, and bedrooms in the garret in 1965. Though the farm has been subdivided, the house keeps its rural setting and views of the Shawangunk Mountains, and it remains a single-family home.
Significance in brief: The house is a large, elaborate example of the traditional three-room Ulster County stone farmhouse, with a passage added that shows elite taste influencing vernacular design. It also reflects the wealth and standing of Major Jacob Hasbrouck, Jr., a grandson of New Paltz patentee Jean Hasbrouck, who held a 400-acre farm and led local tax assessments. The form is certified as locally significant.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
