AME Zion Church and Mt. Zion Cemetery, Ulster County – Home to the oldest African American congregation in the City of Kingston, the church was founded in 1848, with the current structure dating to 1927-29 as replacement after a fire. The cemetery is about a mile away from the church and has burials dating to the 1850s, making it the city's second-oldest African American cemetery.

It was designed by Reed & Stem, one of the firms also responsible for the design of Grand Central Terminal. Sold to Yonkers Electric Light & Power Co. in 1936, the power plant operated until 1963 and is currently vacant.
Wethersfield, Dutchess County – This 1,000-acre country estate, created between 1937 and 1977 by Chauncey Stillman, includes a Georgian Revival-style residence, a stable/carriage barn, and ancillary farm buildings, set in an area of formal gardens and sculpture, forests, agricultural fields, and carriage drives. The estate is now overseen by a foundation and is open to the public in season. Stillman was the wealthy scion of an illustrious New York City banking family with an interest in conservation, religion and the arts.

The Wyckoff House, or Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, is a historic house at 5816 Clarendon Road in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. The house is within Milton Fidler Park.
It is situated on land that Wouter van Twiller purchased from the local Lenape people in approximately 1636.[4] (Europeans often referred to the native inhabitants simply by the Lenape language place name for the larger area: 'Canarsie', in this case.[5]:32–33) The house was one of several ordered built by Wouter van Twiller before he was recalled to Holland by 1640. The house is estimated to have been built ca. 1652,[4] making it one of the oldest surviving examples of a Dutch frame house in America, and it was one of the first structures built by Europeans on Long Island. The majority of the current structure was added in the 19th century, with the small kitchen section dating back to the 18th century.
It is owned by New York City but is operated by The Wyckoff House & Association.[6] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1967[3][4] and is a New York City designated landmark.[1]
