Building





建筑
一个以砖石为地基坐落在一座小山顶上的二层框架结构的别墅，可以在上面俯瞰从布鲁斯特市中心到后方。每侧有四个离子柱支撑着离房子伸出一段合适距离的门廊，在普特南县只有希腊复兴风格的别墅才有这样的布局。它有一个齿状装饰的飞檐。 [1] 目前，沃尔特·布鲁斯特别墅作为一个活动空间为婚礼，节日，公司晚会，募捐，会议和文化活动服务。这所房子经过精心修复，小心保管，内部的家具和艺术品代表着布儒斯特村和沃尔特·布鲁斯特和约翰·盖尔·伯顿一样丰富的历史，这所别墅的以前重要的居民为布鲁斯特带来了工业和经济发展。 The two-story frame structure sits on a brick foundation atop a hill
overlooking downtown Brewster to the rear. Four Ionic columns on
each side support the portico, which juts out some distance from the
house proper, the only such arrangement on a Greek Revival house in
Putnam County. It has a dentiled cornice.[1]
Currently, The Walter Brewster House serves as an event space for
weddings, festivals, corporate parties, fundraisers, meetings and
cultural events. The house has been carefully restored and with
careful curation, the furnishings and artwork inside represent the
Village of Brewster's rich history as well as Walter Brewster and
John Gail Borden, important former residents of the house who
brought industry and economic development to Brewster.

历史
布鲁斯特，一个普利茅斯殖民地布鲁斯特家族的后裔，随着他的弟弟买下了一个农场并在19世纪中叶安居在此。纽约和哈林铁路是北起纽约市，他不仅建立了一个仓库，他奠定了村里的主要街道，并创立了第一家酒店。
经过无数次的业主，谁也没有意识到它的历史重要性，这幢建筑成为东南亚地标性保护协会的财产。[ 2 ]在20世纪70年代，协会重新把它装修一番，使它成为举办音乐会和特别活动的文化中心。
Brewster, a descendant of the Plymouth Colony Brewsters, bought a
farm along with his brother and settled in the area around the mid-19th century. The New York and Harlem
Railroad was working its way north from New York City, and he not only built a depot, he laid out the village's
Main Street and helped found its first hotel.
After numerous owners, who did not appreciate its historical importance, the building became the property of
the Landmarks Preservation Society of Southeast[2] in the 1970s. The society renovated it and made it a cultural
center, hosting concerts and special events.[3]
