Van Cortlandt House Museum

Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, New York

Scope

Built by Frederick Van Cortlandt between 1699 and 1749, the Van Cortlandt House is the oldest building in the Bronx, and NYC’s first historic house museum.

JHPA, Inc. was enlisted to complete an existing conditions assessment and report for the house under the C(ondition)A(ssessment)P(rogram), funded by the IMLS. The report assisted the Historic House Trust by drawing attention to several much-needed repair interventions, and developing a strategic plan for future repairs.
