The Captain David Crawford house sits on a bluff that overlooks the Newburgh Bay. It is a magnificent 19th century house and if you've never had the chance to visit before you must make time in the near future!
Overview:
Built in 1830 for Capt. David Crawford, his wife Fanny Belknap Crawford and their two daughters Mary Elizabeth and Anna Crawford.
Capt. Crawford was a civic leader and maritime entrepreneur who played a key role in the transition of Newburgh from small town riverside community to a thriving shipping and industrial city.
Specifically:
This house is architecturally one of a kind in the Hudson Valley in that it is intact. It has been changed very little over the years and retains most of it's original detail.

The Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands relies on the generosity of it's members for the ongoing stewardship of this magnificent house.
