Part 4/11:
An excellent example is The Brunk House (also known as the Peter Brunk House), built in 1663 near Greenpoint, New York. This Swedish-Dutch structure features thick stone walls and a sharply pitched gable roof. Over time, the original house was expanded—first in 1738 with a larger brick addition, then in 1792—demonstrating evolving architecture across generations.
Similar rural Dutch settler homes, such as the Hankinson-Moro-Covenhofen House in Freehold, New Jersey, combine Dutch architectural elements with later Georgian influences, exemplifying regional adaptation.
