Regarding Bradt House. This house was constructed by Arent Bradt and is one of several throughout Albany and Schenectady Counties constructed by the Bradt family. The Bradts were a large and successful family from Norway that settled in New Netherland (as New York was known before the English finally succeeded the Dutch in 1674). The Bradts of early Albany are descended from two brothers, Albert and Arent Andriesse who came to America in 1637.
