The recent edit regarding the 'questionable' reliability of the tree-ring study on this house does not cite a reliable source. The citation is for a letter written to a newspaper, not a journalistic source. In other words, that opinion piece includes no evidence that the results of this particular study are unreliable. If the lab (or another lab, or an architectural historian) has found that the results are not reliable, that source must be cited to justify reverting the date to 1649.
I have no stake in this issue; this is one of the oldest houses in the country, and one of the best preserved. Great house. In my opinion, when the other houses on the 'oldest houses in New York' list are dated scientifically, most of the 'seventeenth century' buildings will date much later. This is what's happened in Masschusetts, there's no reason to believe New York is any different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses (talk • contribs) 23:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
