Thomas Jansen House

The Pearl Street Schoolhouse, also known as District 11 Schoolhouse, is located south of the junction of Awosting and Decker roads in the Town of Shawangunk, New York, United States. It was built around 1850. The schoolhouse name is derived from the tendency of the Jansen family to speak often of Pearl Street in what is today Lower Manhattan. The homes of early settlers Thomas and Johannes are within a mile (1.6 km) of each other. Eventually, the whole area they lived in became known as Pearl Street.The building, now a private home, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is a single-story three-by-three-bay frame structure on a stone foundation, now parged with concrete. A gabled roof is pierced by a brick chimney. To the west a modern shed-roofed wing on block piers projects.Inside, the single room has been divided into two large spaces. Much of the original woodwork, including the wainscoting, remains. Other signs of the building's use as a school are evident, particularly the coat pegs near the south door, a black spot on the floor where the potbelly stove was and a hole in the wall for its exhaust pipe.The first record of the building is an 1858 atlas describing the building as a store with the school across the street; however this is believed to be in error because of the building's architecture. In 1875 another atlas describes it as Public School No. 11. It remained in use as a school until 1942-43, after which it was sold for use as a private residence. In 1956 the rear wing was added, and it was expanded nine years later, adding two more rooms to the house.

The Benjamin Van Keuren House Ruin is located at the corner of Bruyn Turnpike and Benjamin van Keuren Drive in the western portion of the Town of Shawangunk, in Ulster County, New York, United States. It was the site of the house built in 1745 by Van Keuren and his wife Sarah, early settlers of the area. He would later be elected town supervisor four times and serve in the 4th Regiment of the Ulster County Militia during the Revolutionary War. Today only the foundation stones remain, on a slight rise at the edge of a nearby woodlot, after the building burned down. The town has honored Van Keuren and his role in its history by naming the street after him when houses were built on it recently, and putting a commemorative plaque on the nearby pillar. In 2000 the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

It is on the east side of the Shawangunk Kill at the Ulster/Orange Counties line. Wallkill Avenue is north of the building with the Shawangunk Kill east of it. Bruyn Estate is a working farm with alpacas, goats, and chickens on the grounds. All custom-designed interiors and exteriors built and designed by Cristy Lee McGeehan / Cristy Lee Design have featured on Barnwood Builders, Beautiful Destinations, Cabin Chronicles, Cabin Love, Discovery Channel, DIY Network, Domino Magazine, HGTV, iTV, Mansion Global, The New York Times, WSJ, and more! The one half story frame farmhouse with a partially exposed cellar and interior end chimneys was constructed c.1835 on a site overlooking the Shawangunk Kill. The northwest facade of the five-bay center hall structure has 6/6 sashes with plain window heads and sills. The center entry, framed by pilasters which support a full entablature, has three-paned sidelights. Complete with 3BRs upstairs, formal dining, kitchen and office on the first floor, and a karaoke lounge, gym and wine cellar in the basement. Bruyn Estate at Red Mills Farm (Historic Farmhouse) is significant as a distinctive example of Greek Revival style architecture. It is also significant as a surviving component of an industrial complex originating in the eighteenth century. The architectural integrity of the house is embodied in its form, original materials, unique iron grill work, elaborate interior woodwork and door moldings. The farmhouse at Red Mills known as 'Red Mills Farm' was built c.1835 by Roe and Arminda Coleman on this site overlooking the Shawangunk Kill. The early mill site included a sawmill and gristmill which were in proximity to the miller's house (only the miller's house survives). The location allowed the miller a view of mill operations, and the height of the water in the mill could also be monitored. The sawmill and gristmill were destroyed by fire in the mid-twentieth century, leaving only remnants of a dam and mill race channel, and the existing miller's house. (The mill site is located on a separate parcel.) The log guest house is a newly built, design-forward, sumptuous home perfect for guests and entertaining. A large hearth room dominates the first floor, with an open kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Huge master BR with its own entrance on the first floor. Four en suite bedrooms upstairs, each with its own custom design. All contemporary mechanicals, including zoned heating and radiant floors as well as central air. The site was originally owned by the patentee, Abraham Jansen. Roe Coleman purchased the land in 1835 and began construction of the mill buildings and the house. (A date stone set in the garden wall which surrounds the house reads, 'Erected by M. Webb / July 4, 1839'. This may refer to the date the wall was constructed since it does not relate to the house or it may have come from one of the other mill buildings. No documentation has been found to link M. Webb with the site, however.) The site is known as 'Red Mills' and this name has been attributed to the color of the mill buildings. It has also been called 'Green Mills', presumably after a subsequent owner, Russell G. Green. Also on the property is a contributing well.The property is currently owned by Colan and Cristy Lee McGeehan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The Taylor–Corwin House, also the Falconer Inn, is a Registered Historic Place in Pine Bush, New York. It is located at 112 Maple Street (NY 302), a few houses south of its intersection with NY 52.It was one of the earliest houses built in what is today Pine Bush, around 1840.

In 1871, James Taylor, the local merchant who originally built the house, sold it to farmer John Corwin. Eleven years later, he in turn sold it to Amanda Falconer, who turned it into an inn. It became popular with travelers on the Crawford Railroad, which terminated at Pine Bush, as a place from which they could take in the scenery of the nearby Shawangunk Ridge.Since the demise of the railroad, it has since returned to its original status as a private home. It was added to the National Register in 2005.
