Bronck House, also known as Pieter Bronck House, is a Dutch homestead house in Coxsackie in Greene County, New York, that was constructed in 1663 and added to later.[3] It is the oldest structure in upstate New York,[4] and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1967.[2][5]
A stone house was built first, by Pieter Bronck, born in Jönköping, Sweden, a relative of Jonas Bronck, for whom the Bronx was named, who bought the property from native Americans. That was expanded soon after, and, in 1738 a larger brick house that was connected by a doorway was built by his grandson. The house is reputed to be the location where the Coxsackie Declaration of Independence was signed, more than a year before the Continental Congress signing in 1776.[6]
The house remained in the family until 1938. It now is owned and operated as a museum by the Greene County Historical Society.[4] The Bronck Farm 13-Sided Barn is related to, but listed separately from the Bronck House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
It is located on Pieter Bronck Road, off US 9W, in Coxsackie, west of the Hudson River, south of Albany.
