The Historic DuBois House on Huguenot Street in New Paltz NY
The DuBois House is the second house I am featuring in my series on the homes on Huguenot Street.
Accordiing to what I have read this was built as a fort in 1705 and was first listed as a 1 story home but evolved into the present 2 story structure sometime between 1705 -1830's.
The house is now home to a gift shop, tour office and exhibits on the second floor.

lovely - simply lovely - I love your historic homes - thanks for sharing with us
A historical home built in 1705 wow. We don't have any homes that go that far back.
Hi Jennifer,
You know I think I say this all the time, but you've got so many places of interest and character there. What is this used for now?
Terea you are welcome. These treasures should be shared.
Tim - That is one of the reason I am sharing this information. also love learning about other parts of the country from postings here on AR.
Lynda thanks for the question, I just incorporated that information in the post.
Oh I'm in love with your area Jennifer - i love all the history - and the architecture!
Jen, I loved Huguenot Street! I went to visit when I had gone to stay with my daughter in New Paltz. What a wonderful place to visit, I loved the old homes and architecture!
Jennifer the Dubious house looks like an oldie but goodie. I am sure there are quite a few stories surrounding this beauty.
Jennifer - Very pretty house... Great series you have going here... Nice pictures as well... Very nice job... Hope you are well...
The stone work is beautiful! Love it when a town preserves its heritage!
Jennifer - Wonderful old building - but I admit I was surprised to see the yellow front in the second photo! Why bright yellow? LOL Thanks for sharing this piece of local history!

Jennifer, having built one house in New Paltz, I got to know this house and loved checking out lots of the stone houses in the area----very cool and photogenic.
Jennifer, I love the stonework and the character! I have friends whose son and daughter-in-law live in New Paltz. It sounds like a charming place.
Jennifer, what a treasure! I love it when buildings are preserved and maintained!
Jennifer - New Paltz is such a chaming town. I can't get enough of it.
That's a wonderful looking historic home Jennifer. I especially love the crisp yellow color of the paint on the front! I could handle that on my home - no problem!
Jennifer back in those days you couldn't go to your local stone dealer and buy a few pallets of stone to build a house. All that stone had to be quarried or dug up. The work that went into building something like that was amazing.
Jennifer - that is really cool. I love history, and I am glad you shared this one here today!
Jennifer - I love reading posts like yours that showcase such beautiful and historic homes. It's such a wonderful way to learn the history of other parts of the country.
I like it, but I'm not sure I would want to do the home inspection on it! LOL
Jennifer, Thanks for sharing pictures of historical homes in your area.
Liz I am too, and that s why it is so easy to share this.
Carole it is truly a unique street.
Bill I am sure.
Robert can't help falling in love with these old homes. I am also grateful to my digital camera.
SarahGray Me too. It is a good thing to preserve structures from the pass. You get more of a feeling for how things were from a visit to one of these sites instead of just reading the information from a page in a book.
Debi I am with you, that yellow seemed a bit out of character to me also.
Charles so you are fully aware of how wonderful this street really is.
Amy it is a charming town and lots to explore nearby.
Tony and Darcy I feel the same.
If those walls could talk, what a story they could tell. That is amazing to think what life might have been like in 1705. Thanks for the picture and history.
