The Bevier House is located on Bevier Road in Gardiner, New York, United States. It is a frame house built in the mid-19th century.
It is one of the few remaining intact farmhouses in Gardiner from before the Civil War, with a decorative front facade and marbleized main staircase. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The house is located on a 42.6-acre (17.2 ha) farmstead on the south side of Bevier Road a short distance from Albany Post Road (Ulster County Route 9), just across from the Shawangunk Kill near where it drains into the Wallkill River. The farmstead property is mostly open, with outbuildings to the south and west. The land alongside the Shawangunk is wooded.
Structurally the house is a two-story five-by-three-bay frame building sided in clapboard with a gabled metal roof pierced by brick chimneys at the east and west ends. Two wings, one single-story and the other two, project from the south (rear) elevation. A porch with a flat metal roof runs across the middle three bays of the north facade.
The roofline has overhanging eaves supported by paired brackets with acorn pendants over a plain frieze. The porch roof has smaller, similar paired brackets, with its roof supported by square pillars with pilasters. Decorative arches and diamond pendants run between them. The windows have plain surrounds with flat shutters and drip-mold friezes.
