The Anthony Yelverton House is a historic house located at 39 Maple Avenue Highland, Ulster County, New York.

Description and history

It is a 1+1⁄2-story, three-bay wide frame structure built about 1754. It is built into the hillside. It features a two-story porch spanning the full width of the building. It is the only surviving structure from "Yelverton's Landing", and once served as a tavern, storehouse, and private residence. ^[2]

Anthony Yelverton was a Poughkeepsie businessman. From this building and adjacent sawmill, Yelverton developed the area called both Yelverton's Landing and New Paltz Landing because a road connected it to New Paltz, further west. It became both a community in its own right and a Hudson River "port" for commerce from the New Paltz area. ^{[3] [4]}

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1983. ^[1]
