The Jacob Ten Broeck Stone House is located on Albany Avenue (NY 32) in Kingston, New York, United States. It is a stone house built in the early years of the 19th century and modified later in that century.
It is one of the rare high-style Federal homes in the city. In 2002 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The house is on the north side of Albany Avenue, a short distance west of where it curves to the northeast. The neighborhood is mostly residential, with the exception of the Sharp Burial Ground, also listed on the National Register, slightly to the south on the opposite side of Albany. Most of the neighboring houses are of mid-19th to early 20th-century construction, on a large scale and frequently exhibiting little restraint in their architectural styles. The house at 184 Albany Avenue, a short distance across the street to the north, has been listed on the Register as well.
In contrast to those other houses, which are on narrow, deep lots of roughly 1-acre (4,000 m2), the Ten Broeck House is on a 8-acre (3.2 ha) lot with 250 feet (76 m) of frontage along Albany Avenue. In its rear is a large pond and woods buffering nearby Interstate 587 and NY 28. There is one other building on the property, a modern garage to its south. It is not considered a contributing resource to its historic character.
The house itself is a two-story, seven-by-two-bay house of limestone in rough courses with a metal-clad gabled roof pierced by two brick chimneys near either end. The roofline has a box gutter, modillions and simple frieze, all done in wood. A smaller stone wing extends from the south, and a two-story frame wing is on the rear.
