The James "Squire" Patton House is located along the brief overlap of NY 207 and 300 in New Windsor, New York, United States.

The house is a 1+1⁄2-story five-bay frame structure facing the road to the south, on a lot that slopes slightly up to and past it.

Its front facade has four windows and a centrally located entranceway with wooden steps leading up to a covered porch.

The fireplace mantels have Federal style Tuscan colonettes with frieze and entablature, and the unusual rear-facing open-stringer staircase has a pyramidal newel post and oval handrails.

[1] Patton, who had been born and raised a short distance away, bought the house and surrounding farmland that was to eventually reach 200 acres (81 ha) by 1830, possibly in 1825.

He married around that time and began the house's last remodeling, adding the Federal decorative touches inside and other changes to make it a better home for his growing family.

By the time the city of Newburgh acquired the land as part of the expansion of its Lake Washington reservoir to the north, only 52 acres (21 ha) were left.
