Early American saltbox construction with massive stone fire place, wide plank floors in original part of home, beams in every room on main floor, knotty pine and cherry wood paneling on part of the walls on the main floor. Located across the street from Algonquin Park in The Orange Mill Historic District, which takes its name from the old gunpowder mill complex, built by Asa Taylor in 1816 and operated by the Laflin & Rand Powder Company after 1869. The mill primarily produced powder for local residents use in hunting and shooting sports, during the Civil War the Union Army procured some higher quality material. After production stopped in the early 20th century, Col. Frederic Adrian Delano (1863-1953), uncle of future President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, purchased the remaining land, which included the core of the manufacturing operation, for use as a public park. It is today the only remaining 19th-century gunpowder production facility in New York. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The house was part of the powder mill complex and used as boarding house. Built in 1803, it predates the powder mill by 15 years, and is believed to be the oldest structure in the plant property.
