Erected ca. 1850 by village founder Walter Brewster, this spectacular house is owned by the Landmarks Preservation Society of Southeast. The group has restored the house (though it looks in need of a paint job) and offers house tours as well as concerts and special events. Mark and I were perusing the recently released "Great Houses of the Hudson Valley" book that day, and we both agreed the Walter Brewster House easily surpasses most in the book. I could have spent hours photographing the house. I didn't even include my favorite image here.
