The Van Rensselaer Lower Manor is located on the east side of Claverack, New York, United States. State Route 23 passes to the south. The manor is a combination of two 18th-century houses, one stone and the other frame, later connected with a hyphen. They were combined into one building and sided in wood. One local historian called the result a "growth" that no longer had any architectural merit. It retains much of its original interior layout, finishes and fenestration. One of the houses was among the earliest built in the region. The structure continued to be expanded. As its name suggests, it was used by the Van Rensselaer family to maintain a presence on the southern boundary of their family lands during the colonial era. In 1998 the Lower Manor and an associated barn were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
