The Locusts, also known as the Peter Eltinge House, is a 19th-century brick Federal style house built in 1826 located on Plains Road in the Town of New Paltz, New York, United States, two miles (3 km) south of the village of New Paltz.

The house and several outbuildings have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well-preserved examples of that style in Ulster County.

[1] The front entrance leads to a 12-foot (4 m) wide central hallway, with a finely crafted decorative archway separating the reception area from the staircase.

Much of the original flooring, trim and Dutch doors with wrought iron fixtures remains.

[2] At the time it was added to the National Register in 1996, one of her descendants, Robert Eltinge Lasher, was still living there with his wife.

Three are extant structures, including two outbuildings, and one is the site of the original stone house.

In the mid-19th century a frame addition was built and the Greek Revival cornice with partial returns was also added.

Robert Lasher also describes a clapboard outhouse he and his siblings knew as the "Lilac House", from the surrounding bushes, from his childhood visits in the 1920s.

It is believed that such investigations, if undertaken, could yield considerable information about the first 80 years of the property's history.
