Once home to our six lively children
in the 1970s and 80s, this wonderful brick house was originally home
to Isaac Hasbrouck in the 1830s until his death in 1852. The house
was then owned and occupied by relatives until it was sold in 1882
to an attorney, Mr. Alvah Newcomb. It is reported that Mr. Newcomb
made extensive renovations to the "old brick house", including
a very large and beautiful addition, predicting that "when all
work thereon is completed it will be one of the finest residences
in this village." (May 3rd 1883 The Kingston Journal and Weekly
Freeman) If you find this interesting you can learn more during
your stay with us.
Now, with a lot more to tell about and well
over a century later, the Sheeleys have made extensive renovations
to the "old brick house" and we believe that our guests
will consider it a fine place to stay!
The Sheeley House cannot be defined by any
one style or period. Although it is a blend of several styles and
tastes it does still capture much of the dignity and interest of Mr.
Newcomb's time and while this house is indeed stately and elegant,
we hope our guests will find it comfortable and welcoming. We think
our house is most beautiful when people are here to enjoy it.
