Gen. William Floyd House in Westernville, New York is a National Historic Landmark. It was the home of William Floyd, 1734–1821, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This is distinct from William Floyd House, a prior home of his in Mastic Beach, New York that is also on the National Register.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971.
The two William Floyd houses are believed to be the only surviving homes in New York of signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Famous quotes containing the word house:
“Adjoining a refreshment stand ... is a small frame ice house ... with a whitewashed advertisement on its brown front stating, simply, “Ice. Glory to Jesus.” The proprietor of the establishment is a religious man who has seized the opportunity to broadcast his business and his faith at the same time.”
