The John Green House - Nyack, NY

The John Green House - Nyack, NY Built in 1819, the John Green House is the oldest standing sandstone house in Nyack. “Right now, we’ve got a big empty house, filled only by potential.

Please join us in restoring, remembering and reusing this wonderful historical building! John Green was a visionary who always had an eye on the future. He patiently aligned his stars one by one, building a path toward the fulfillment of his dreams.” - Ken Sharp

The John Green House was built in 1819 and is one of Nyack's oldest houses and represents the style of design and construction used by

the early settlers of Dutch descent. It is now listed on the New York State and National registers of historic places. John Green’s contributions to Rockland County’s future were broad and impactful. He helped to form the Nyack Steamboat Association and the first steamboat service from Nyack in the 1820s. He also was a primary supporter of establishing a connecting roadway between Nyack and Suffern which later became Route 59. Green served as a trustee of the original Nyack Library, was a founder of the First Methodist Church in Nyack, and contributed substantial funds towards the construction of the Old Stone Church (Old Stone Meeting House). "John Green revolutionized Rockland County's economy, and his former home, dating back to the early 1800s, is historically significant and worthy of preservation." - Richard Ellis
