[1] The American Craftsman and Bungalow-style, stone building was originally erected c. 1916 as a carriage house for a country estate owned by New York City merchant Henry Potter McKenny.

[6][2] The property's buildings were built c. 1916 as the carriage house and staff quarters of Valley Head Farm, a country estate developed by Henry Potter McKenny, a New York City textile merchant.

In December 1958, the Pousette-Darts purchased a parcel with the carriage house and gardener's cottage situated on a roughly two-acre lot to serve as a family home and art studio.

[1] After Pousette-Dart's death in 1992, the Whitney Museum staged a 1998 exhibition that featured a partial recreation of the studio in order to provide greater insight into the relationship between his art and working environment.

[3][8][11] The Pousette-Dart property is located on 932 Haverstraw Road (U.S. Route 202) and includes two original buildings: a 1.5-story residence with a footprint of roughly 68 by 38 feet and a stone gardener's cottage with an attached greenhouse at the rear of the house.
