The Langdon Estate Gatehouse is a historic home on Albany Post Road in Hyde Park, New York, built in 1876 in the Renaissance Revival style. It is a one-and-a-half-story, two-bay dwelling with a rectangular main block and a kitchen wing under steep slate-covered hipped roofs with round-headed dormers. Walter Langdon built it as the gatehouse of the Langdon estate and gave it as a wedding present to his niece Emily Astor Kane. After Frederick W. Vanderbilt bought the estate in 1895, the gatehouse was moved about fifty yards south to the edge of the grounds, where it stands today. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 and was carefully restored in 2015 and 2016.
