About this property

Scott-Edwards House is a historic home located at West New Brighton, Staten Island, New York. It was built about 1730 and extensively remodeled in the 1840s in the Greek Revival style. The original section is a 1+1⁄2-story, stone structure with a clapboard upper section, originally in the Dutch Colonial style. The remodeling added a sweeping roof with an overhang supported by seven box columns. At the rear are two interconnecting frame additions completed about 1900. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
