Oldest house still standing in Albany. Built by a brick mason named Quackenbush in 1609. The young lady at the Visitor's Center said the story goes that he saved the best bricks for his own house and that's why it's still standing while all the others built around the same time are long gone. Obviously retrofitted on the inside, it's now a French restaurant in Quackenbush Square.
