History of this property...
In 1798 the Palatine congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Peter the Apostle, Rhinebeck, NY built a house for the pastor, Reverend Frederick H. Quitman. The parsonage complemented the 'Stone Church', which had been constructed in 1786 on land purchased from Gilbert Livingston.
The two buildings stood at the crest of a hill
In 1798 the Palatine congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Peter the Apostle, Rhinebeck, NY built a house for the pastor, Reverend Frederick H. Quitman. The parsonage complemented the 'Stone Church', which had been constructed in 1786 on land purchased from Gilbert Livingston.
The two buildings stood at the crest of a hill on the west side of the 'King's Highway' (Rte 9). Surrounding the Church lands were the 18th century farms of the congregation. Frederick Quitman, a native of Germany, served the Rhinebeck pastorate from February 1798 until ill health forced his retirement in 1828.
The parsonage housed St. Peter's pastors until 1929, when due to declining church membership, it became a rental property. It continued as such until 1974, when the house was saved from demolition by six concerned members of the Rhinebeck Historical Society. In 1975, its historical importance was recognized when the 'Stone Church' complex was listed on the NY State and National Registers of Historic Places.

The restoration of the Quitman House is a 30 year story of hard work by dedicated volunteers and community support. The result is an active Rhinebeck (Quitman) Resource Center for Preservation, Inc. providing a home in the Quitman House for the Museum of Rhinebeck History and others as well as overseeing the restoration and preservation of the German Palatine Farmstead just down the road.
