The George Felpel House is located on NY 9H in Claverack-Red Mills, New York, United States.

The house is on an 11-acre (4.5 ha) lot on the east side of Route 9H just south of the Reformed Dutch Church of Claverack.

It is set back from the road, on the top of a low ruse, at the end of the north fork of an unpaved Y-shaped driveway.

Its bannister and newels reflect the Arts and Crafts style; all the other woodwork in the house is Colonial Revival.

[2] Claverack College, also known as Washington Seminary and Hudson River Institute, was founded by Reformed Church pastor John Gabriel Gebhard during the Revolutionary War.

[2] Some of the stones they were built of remained, and when George Felpel, a successful farmer from nearby Ghent, bought half of the former campus, he wanted to use them.

He hired Gloversville architect Henry Moul, who had recently moved there from Hudson, near Claverack, to design a stone house in the newly popular Colonial Revival mode.

It had many features typical of Colonial Revival buildings, such as the colonnade, pediment, ornamented entry and central-hall plan.

On the outside he used the gambrel roof, an English feature later copied by the Dutch, and stoep benches flanking the entrance, similar to those seen on old engravings of streets in Albany.
