Draper Terrace
One single family and two double-family frame houses in the Hudson Valley cottage style date from the early 1840s to the late 1850s. The double houses were built by the scientist and historian John William Draper as rental property after he bought his Hastings estate in 1847. The older house on the corner was then "modernized" to match the newer ones. David Farragut (inset), commander of the Union Navy, rented the middle house as a refuge during the Civil War for his southern-born wife and son. House photo: 1914.
