In 1787, James Van Duyne purchased 205 acres (83 ha) from the estate of Robert Sandford Sr. and in 1789, gave it to his son Simon Van Duyne. According to the nomination form, the oldest section of the house may have been built by Sandford c. 1750.[4]

The house is constructed using sandstone in the vernacular architectural style of the Dutch stone houses in the area.[4]
