Carmel, NY Local historians believe that Stonecrest Farm dates back to the 1740’s when the first settlers came to Putnam County. The classical Dutch house and barns were probably built in the later half of the 1700’s by Deacon Solomon Fowler, who homesteaded the land. The barn and stable are one of two remaining Dutch barns in Putnam County. Stonecrest Farm was featured in an historical exhibit, “Putnam County Rediscovered,” and is eligible for historical landmark status. The house retains the basic Dutch layout with four rooms on each floor around a large central hall (10’ x 35’) that goes from front to back. Additions and extensions have been added over time. The thiry-eight foot living room has original hand-hewn beams and two large stone fireplaces.
