The house is located on a large open lot and situated on a small knoll set back from the road, maintaining its original 19th-century setting.
Features: Exceptional Federal style design; hipped roof crowned with balustrade; symmetrically placed chimneys; central front porch with lattice work decoration; two-story ell on north side; much of the original interior details remain intact.
Date of initial construction: ca. 1800
Historical and Architectural importance: This excellent example of the Federal style design was built for Volkert Veeder around 1800 and was known as "Rose Hill". Veeder was an agent for Stephen Van Rensselaer and an active worker in the colonizing of the Town. The farm was approximately 148 acres and was in the Veeder family for the entire nineteenth century. This architecturally and historically significant building remains as one of the finest Federal period homes in Guilderland.
