839 Clark-Schieffelin House

 History

839 Clark-Schieffelin House, Federal, ca 1829

            Shortly after his marriage to Catherine A. Clark, this residence was built by Charles A. Williamson, son of Capt. Charles Williamson, agent for the Pulteney Associates. In 1836 it was sold to William Clark, a cousin of Catherine’s. After the death of William Clark, his widow traded house with her brother, Sidney A. Schieffelin, who lived next door.

            The northernmost house on Mile Point Farm, this residence is a fine example of Federal style architecture with the exterior maintained in “mint condition.” Notice the matching balustrade on the roof, over the porch, and even the carriage house to the south of the home. The circular path to the front is still apparent.
