Simeon Brady's House,

Goldens Bridge, NY

Description: This house, although built after the Revolutionary War, stands near the site of the Brady house which was invaded by Tory cowboys.

The Brady family came to Goldens Bridge in manor days when Simeon Brady (1737-1806) built a frame house on the property pictured here.

The first Brady farm house was one of the first frame houses in Westchester County--earlier houses were usually built of stone.

Simeon's son, who was also named Simeon (1777-1864) built the yellow house pictured here in the early 1800's. He built it as a hope chest for his future marriage to Polly Clayson of Cross River.

This house was just 25 feel away from the first farm house.
