You Say You Want A Revolution: Charles M. Ryder House, 32 Village Road North
Eye On Real Estate
What will happen next to a historic Gravesend home that George Washington visited just after the end of the Revolutionary War?
Charles M. Ryder House at 32 Village Road North was sold this year along with the building next door, 30 Village Road North, city Finance Department records indicate.
The Dutch Colonial home at 32 Village Road North was reportedly built around 1788 — the year the U.S. Constitution was adopted at the end of the Revolutionary War. It was used as a school in 1789 when Washington made his appearance, according to the website Forgotten New York.
