| Figure 8 East view of the Mabee House, Rotterdam Junction, New York, ca. 1895. (George S. Roberts, Old Schenectady [Schenectady: Robson and Adee, n.d.], p. 69.) The earliest portion of the Mabee House dates 1680-1700. The gable end is the later room added to the house in the early eighteenth century. The original room to the rear had a door on the side rather than on the gable end. The interior had a jambless fireplace with a smoke hood, a built-in box bedstead, and a steep ladder to the second floor. The walls are load-bearing stone, rather than brick in-fill and veneer. The inn to the right and the small outbuilding to the left probably were added between 1760 and 1790. |
