Dr. Thomas
Broadhead built this fine federal brick house about 1804
adjacent to the hamlet of Clermont in Columbia County .
It is notable for its fine architectural features,
large rooms, high ceilings and, importantly, that it has
survived intact for two centuries in very good
condition.
The property consists of 1.8 landscaped acres of lawn
surrounded by tall privacy fencing within which is a
formal yew hedge garden, a small swimming pool, and
mature specimen trees.
This house was clearly designed for a public family.
The size of the rooms are exceptional, the flow is
natural, the historic features are impressive.
Dr. Broadhead was a leading physician, training
mentor to students, long time Clermont Supervisor and
New York State Assemblyman.
