Van Nuyse-Magaw House ARCHITECT: Unknown DATE: c. 1800 STYLE: Dutch Colonial

This unpretentious frame house is an excellent example of a Dutch Colonial farmhouse of the early 1800’s with some Twentieth Century modifications. This rectangular two and one-half story sturdy, shingle-covered dwelling has great architectural character. Johannes Van Nuyse (1736-1826) erected this Van Nuyse homestead at the west end of his father’s eighty-five acre farm. George C. Case purchased the house in 1916 and moved it to its present site, removing the kitchen wing and adding new dormer windows at about the same time.
