The dwelling, completedby 1770. is is a notable example of its architectural type in the in Rensselaer County and in the Upper Hudson river Valley. Occupied until 1946 by the Knickerbockers, the structure is representative of a family family prominent in Schaghticoke and Rensselaer County for two and a half centuries. Tradition has long associated the Knickerbocker family of Schaghticoke and the brick building with Washington Irving's Knickerbocker's History of New York."
