George Rymph House

The George Rymph House stands on Albany Post Road, U.S. Route 9, in Hyde Park, New York. It is a stone house built during the 1760s by a recent German immigrant, and is one of the few remaining pre-Revolutionary houses in Hyde Park, the oldest stone house and the second-oldest house overall in the town. The Rymph family retained ownership until the early 20th century, when it was sold to the Dominican Fathers, and it later served as a caretaker's cottage until the land conservation organization Scenic Hudson bought the property in the early 21st century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 and has stood vacant since Scenic Hudson's purchase, which has sought a party interested in restoring it.
