Steven Baltsas

Board member Steven Baltsas is working on contextualizing the Crawford House in a series of articles, “Who Designed the Crawford House? Domestic Architecture and Building Culture on Newburgh Bay, 1754–1837.” Part 1 looks at the Federal style locally, epitomized by such examples as 160 Grand Street, Newburgh. Built for William and Maria Roe about 1827 (pictured above), the house introduced porticoes to Newburgh Bay.
