The Mansion House was built in 1789 by Isaac Van Wyck and served as an inn to accommodate travelers on the stage coach runs from New York City to Albany. Isaac and two other men had founded a stagecoach line that operated between these two cities.
The building contained a dance hall and dining facilities, making it popular among the locals as well as travelers. The first floor contained dining, cooking, and administrative facilities, and two guest rooms. The second floor was entirely made up of guest rooms, and the third floor served as a ballroom. The Mansion House stables were located at the rear of the building and housed the stage line's horses. A horrific fire consumed the stables in 1836. The building was remodeled over the years and today holds businesses, private apartments, and a large attic.
