Historic house in New York, United States
About
Sherwood House is a historic home located at Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The house sits on a 2.2-acre plot and is known as one of the few remaining pre-Revolutionary War tenant farmhouses in the New York metropolitan area. Its simple, practical design is probably of Dutch origin. Also on the property is a 1+1⁄2-story frame caretaker's cottage and a barn. Both were built about 1840.
The house was built in 1740 near an old Native American trail by Thomas Sherwood, who leased a 25-acre farm on Philipsburg Manor. It is a three-story frame structure on an exposed basement built into a hillside. It features a two-story porch spanning the entire facade and two Dutch doors.
