Walter built the "Teviotdale" mansion as a country home, on an elevation, between the Klein and Roeloff Jansen Kills.

She afterwards married Charles Augustus Dale, an Englishman of expensive habits and great fondness for horses.

It is related that on one occasion he drove a team of thoroughbreds from New York City to Teviotdale, on a wager that he could make faster time than the steamboat, accomplishing the feat between sunrise and sunset.

Robert and Harriet Livingston Fulton added a piazza, a central Palladian window on the front facade, and a stucco exterior in the early 1800s.
