Kreuzer-Pelton House
The Kreuzer-Pelton House is a Dutch-influenced fieldstone house on Staten Island in New York City. Erected in 1722 as a one-room cottage, it was expanded in two stages: in 1770 and in 1836. It is designated as a New York City landmark. The house was built by Joseph Rolph.
During the American Revolutionary War, Tory militia commander Cortlandt Skinner used the house as his headquarters. William IV of the United Kingdom was a guest at the house.
