In 1847, a farmer by the name of Sutton Green commissioned the construction — for his small but growing family — of the fine stone house where Hudson Valley Rose Bed and Breakfast now stands.  He was so proud of his home that he had his name carved into the stone on an exterior wall. Interestingly, the stone mason who built the house, Charles Wilkison, incised his own name in even bigger letters.

In 1847, successful local farmer Sutton Green commissioned a young master mason named Charles Wilkison to build his growing family’s new home. Justifiably proud of his work, Mr. Wilkison etched his name on a high central stone of the west wall of the house, still plainly visible to this day. The Wilkison Room on the second floor of the stone house boasts a color palette of blue, slate, cedar and cotton with a queen-sized bed and beautiful period dresser. The room features the original exposed ceiling wood beams with a 170-year-old stone wall running along the length of the room.

About the Architecture of Hudson Valley Rose Bed and Breakfast

Farmer Sutton Green’s stone house was built in the Georgian architectural style, which was popularized in the 18th century and early 19th century by King George I through the American Revolution (during the reign of King George III) until the end of King George IV’s reign.

The Georgian style succeeded the English Baroque style which grew out of the Italian Renaissance. Georgian architecture was widely seen in upper and middle class homes, unlike the Baroque style it replaced which was primarily applied to palaces and churches.

In the United States, the Georgian style shared a number of features:

  • Brick and stone were commonly used materials. Regularly used colors were red, tan, or white.
  • Symmetry, uniformly cut stonework and regularity were trademarks.
  • Simple mathematical ratios determined window height in relation to a room’s shape or width.
  • Symmetry in the building structure with a center-entry facade, two-room-deep floor plan, windows aligned on the horizontal and vertical planes, and a five-bay facade.
  • Chimneys were seen on both sides of the home.
  • Sash windows were common, with small windows in the upper floors primarily used for servant’s quarters which were a way of reducing window tax.
  • Larger windows with 9 or 12 panes were common on the ground floor.
  • Many entryways featured wooden pilasters.
