Beavers House
Item
Description
The photos at right and left are of ruins of a house which probably belonged to the Beavers, who occupied the northern half of the property before the Pratts. They may have been 'squatters' until the land was definitively taken over by the Pells. Brother Stephen Kappes remembers that fifteen years ago he could see the outlines of at least two rooms, with walls projecting at right angles. Time has filled in the spaces. The site had a magnificent view of the Hudson River
