This Greek Revival style dwelling appears on maps dating to 1858. The home was likely built in the late 1840s to early 1850s for Isaac Chesbrough, who owned the house until his death in 1893. Chesbrough was the first foreman of the Copake Iron Works. He married Lemuel Pomeroy II's daughter Harriet around 1840. After his father-in-law's death in 1849, Chesbrough gradually bought out the heirs to the company, and in 1862, sold the Copake Iron Works to Frederick Miles.
