Daniel Sutherland House
Encyclopedia
The Daniel Sutherland House is located on Angola Road in Cornwall
, New York
, United States
. It is the late-19th century Stick-Eastlake
style
home of Sutherland, a grandson of David Sutherland, whose Colonial-era
house
is located further south on the road.
Sutherland, a local lawyer of prominence, bought several acres of his ancestral lands from the then-owners, the Chedeayne estate, around 1875. Eleven years later, he built the house in a vernacular
interpretation of the then-popular Stick style. After his death the following year, his wife remarried, and around the turn of the century the building was used as a rooming house.
It has remained largely intact since its construction, with some more contemporary outbuildings. Much of the interior woodwork and furnishings are originals. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places
in 1996.
