Cordts, a brick merchant, manufacturer and co-founder of the firm of Cordts and Hutton. It is located within the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area and is prominently sited atop a hill facing east and overlooking the Hudson River. The mansion occupies anine-acre, mostly-landscaped lot located on the east side of Lindsley Avenue, north of Delaware Avenue, in Kingston, New York. Adjoining the mansion lot to the north is Hutton Brickyards; across Lindsley Avenue, to the south and east is Delaware Avenue and residential housing, some of which was owned by the Cordts family and occupied by brick company employees; to the west across Lindsley Avenue, is a wood lot property once owned by the Newark Lime and Cement Manufacturing Company as well as the Moses Yeomans House, a pre-Revolutionary stone house with former ties to the Newark Lime and Cement Manufacturing Company. The Edgewood Mansion is an imposing building with many distinctive exterior details and features associated with the Second Empire style including the centered tower, slate sloping concave mansard roof with hooded dormer windows having jigsaw trim, iron roof cresting much of it topped with finials in a modified fleur de lys style, molded cornices with paired support eave brackets, a columned front porch verandah, round headed windows, and a side bay window facing south on the first and second stories. Windows on the first and second stories and in the arched tower have shutters. The windows are varied but mostly two over two or two over one. The main section of roof beyond the iron cresting and not visible from the grounds is asphalt. The structural system is joisted masonry. The brickwork is painted yellow and appears to be mainly common bond. The architect is not known but the construction would likely have been supervised by John H. Cordts with materials provided by the Cordts and Hutton brickyard and the Hutton Company lumberyard, both nearby. The dimensions are irregular containing numerous projections and setbacks but can be approximated to 45 ft. x 90 ft. on the first story, 45 ft. x 75 ft. on the second story and 36 ft. x 75 ft. on the third story.The mansion is now part of Hutton Brickyards and will available for hotel stays starting in summer of 2022.

Rondout Creek
Rondout Creek

Rondout Creek is a 63.3-mile-long (101.9 km) tributary of the Hudson River in Ulster and Sullivan counties, New York, United States. It rises on Rocky Mountain in the eastern Catskills, flows south into Rondout Reservoir, part of New York City's water supply network, then into the valley between the Catskills and the Shawangunk Ridge, where it goes over High Falls and finally out to the Hudson at Kingston, receiving along the way the Wallkill River. The name of Rondout Creek comes from the fort, or redoubt, that was erected near its mouth. The Dutch equivalent of the English word redoubt (meaning a fort or stronghold) is reduyt. In the Dutch records of Wildwyck, however, the spelling used to designate this same fort is invariably Ronduyt during the earliest period, with the present form rondout (often capitalized) appearing as early as November 22, 1666.The Rondout Creek became economically important in the 19th century when the Delaware and Hudson Canal followed closely alongside it from Napanoch to the village of Rondout, now part of Kingston, which grew rapidly as the canal's northern port. Today it is important not only for the reservoir, but for the fishing and other recreational opportunities it provides. Due to the Wallkill, it drains a vast area stretching over 1,100 square miles (2,850 km2) all the way down to Sussex County, New Jersey. The high mountains around its upper course and the reservoir, which collects water from three others, also add to its flow.

Hudson River Maritime Museum
Hudson River Maritime Museum

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is a maritime museum dedicated to the Hudson River. It is located at 50 Rondout Landing at the foot of Broadway in Kingston, New York, United States, along Rondout Creek in the city's old waterfront, just east of the John T. Loughran Bridge. The acronym HRMM is often used to refer the Hudson River Maritime Museum in publications. Its collections are devoted to the history of shipping, boating and industry on the Hudson and its tributaries, such as the Rondout, where Kingston grew prosperous early in the 19th century as the northern end of the Delaware and Hudson Canal. The city was the busiest port between New York City and Albany. The museum was founded in 1980 by local Hudson River enthusiasts, but did not move to its present property, an old boat shop, until 1983. Its exhibits include various small craft, artifacts of river steamships such as the Mary Powell, a research library, ice-harvesting tools and maps, paintings and sketches from past eras. The 1898 steam tugboat Mathilda is displayed in the yard next to the museum. In the summer months boat trips are available to nearby Rondout Lighthouse, where the creek drains into the Hudson. Boats putting in at the dock range from privately owned pleasure craft to oceangoing cruise liners. The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater has its winter home port here and visits frequently as do many historic reproduction vessels such as the Onrust and the Half Moon. As well as having the ability to accommodate deep draft vessels at their docks the museum provides free docking for canoes and kayaks. The Hudson River Maritime Museum is home to the Kingston High School Crew Team, the Rondout Rowing Club and the Kingston Sailing Club. The museum is a membership supported organization and sponsors festivals and events including the Antique and Classic Boat Society Boat Show, Hudson River Days with music, crafts and displays, the "Follow the River" Lecture Series, Cinema Sundays and Family Days. HRMM opened the Wooden Boat School in 2016 and the Sailing & Rowing School in 2017. Classes are offered year-round at the Wooden Boat School, and the Sailing & Rowing School limit their offerings to Spring, Summer, and Fall. It is open 11 am - 5 pm, Thursday - Sunday during winter, and 11 am - 5 pm, Monday - Sunday during summer. Admission cost US$9 for adults and US$6 for children and seniors, US$25 family rates available (restrictions apply). Special tours for groups are available. There is a gift shop which features books pertaining to Kingston and the Hudson Valley as well as the maritime history of the Hudson.
