Property Description
The Thaddeus Hait House has historical significance and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The farm was established in 1819 and sits along both sides of Allhusen Road. In 1728 the property was a land patent granted to John Spratt and Andrich Marshalk. By the late 18th century much of the patent was subdivided and the farmland passed through Adam Baker and Henry Lockwood prior to Hait purchasing an initial 97 acres parcel. By 1828, Hait continued to enlarge the property through multiple surrounding acquisitions, and the farm had grown to 153 acres. Around this time Hait's Federal style two-story, three-bay farmhouse neared its completion featuring a frame and stone construction. Hait descended from a prestigious, wealthy family that settled in Westchester County, and he spared no expense in the design of his home. There is an elegant second floor parlor, which was a distinct local feature in the style of homes in that era. The superior craftmanship displayed on paneled doors and channeled moldings throughout the residence reflect the wealth and stature of the family. There are several outbuildings on the now 117 acre property. A Dutch barn that likely dates to the late 18th century boasts characteristics that include a timber H-frame, hand-hewn anchor beams and a three aisle floor plan. A second barn that exists on the property is unusual in that it is made of stone, a material that was normally used during that period for dwellings and/or smokehouses. For many years the property was a well-known dairy farm that was run by Ira Hait, Thaddeus's son. The property farm eventually passed on to Thaddeus Hait's grandsons, Ira and John Elting. Ira Elting ran the dairy farm until he sold it in 1888. It then passed through two owners until 1906 when the Allhusen family purchased it and operated a dairy farm for the next 76 years. In 1982 the Adair family purchased the property. Jim Adair was a well-known watercolor artist who used the stone barn for his art studio Red Pump Art Gallery. The property is magnificent and has tremendous potential for a variety of uses. Red Pump Gallery is a fantastic light filled workspace awaiting its new owner/artist. Plenty of storage in the lower level and a walk out entrance. Smaller outbuildings dot the landscape. Close to town, shopping and restaurants.
