The Cornell-Van Nostrand House (also known as the Schumacher House) is a historic home located in the hamlet of Manhasset Hills, in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, New York, United States.

Description

The house was moved to its present location, on the grounds of Clinton G. Martin Park in Manhasset Hills, in 1952.^[2]^[3]^[4] It is a two-story, architecturally mixed wood-frame building containing an early 19th-century section, two mid-19th-century sections, and an early 20th-century addition. It is arranged in a T-shaped plan on a concrete foundation with brick above grade. It features a single-height portico with square Doric order columns and a simple entablature, built about 1850.^[5]

It was designated a Town of North Hempstead Landmark in 2005.^[6] Two years later, in 2007, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[1]

Restoration

By the 2010s, the house fell into a state of advanced disrepair, boarded up and exposed to the elements via numerous holes in the roof.^[6] In 2017, an extensive rehabilitation & restoration project was subsequently undertaken by the Town of North Hempstead, bringing the structure back to a state of good repair.^[6] The project was executed through a $500,000 New York State grant.^[6]
