815 Campbell-Swift House

 History

815 Campbell-Swift House, Federal, ca 1826

            This house was built by Christopher Campbell and sold shortly after to General Joseph Gardner Swift, the first graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. General Swift lived in this house after retiring from an illustrious career that include the superintendency of West Point, the chief engineer of the Army, and the surveyorship of the Port of New York.

            The Swift family owned the home until 1916. The original house was only one room deep without a vestibule. The delicate tracery over the door and the fine entablature with dentils under the eaves define this as Federal style.
