Stoutenburgh, William, House - East Park, NY - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

William Stoutenburgh built the stone house on what was then known as the Creek Road (now a state highway).

William's father, Jacobus, had built and lived in a Dutch manor house closer to the Hudson River. This Stoutenburgh manor house, being a conspicuous object visible from the river for a long distance and known to be the home of a family of uncompromising patriots, was the target of British gun boat bombardment on their way to burn Kingston.

Jacobus and his family fled to William's house temporarily for safety during the bombardment of the manor house and it was here that William lived until his death.
