The Kreuzer-Pelton House is a Dutch-influenced fieldstone house on Staten Island in New York City. Erected in 1722 as a one-room cottage, it was expanded in two stages: in 1770 and in 1836. It is designated as a New York City landmark. The house was built by Joseph Rolph.[1] During the American Revolutionary War, Tory militia commander Cortlandt Skinner used the house as his headquarters. William IV of the United Kingdom was a guest at the house.[2]
