Towards the latter part of the nineteenth century artists, writers and prominent families were drawn to Cold Spring by the beauty of the Hudson Highlands. Mansions were built along Morris Avenue, including “Undercliff”, the home of publisher George Pope Morris, and “Craigside”, the home of Julia and General Daniel Butterfield.

While the great mansions have now disappeared there are still many charming old houses on Morris Avenue, including this one.
