The Vanderpoel House in Kinderhook is a superb example of Federal architecture with a Chippendale-style balustrade, Palladian windows, and fanlights which was constructed circa 1819-1820 for prominent lawyer and civic leader, James Vanderpoel. The house is trimmed with marble and built with local brick, the side-gabled structure has two stories, five bays, and rests on a fieldstone foundation. The property is now an exhibit space featuring galleries of paintings and decorative arts from the Columbia County Historical Society's permanent collection. The Columbia County Historical Society Bookstore & Museum Shop is in the house.
