Joshua Hett Smith House : ウィキペディア英語版 | Joshua Hett Smith House
Joshua Hett Smith House (demolished), also known as Treason House, was a historic house in West Haverstraw, New York. It stood on a hill overlooking the King's Ferry at Stony Point, an important crossing of the Hudson River. During the American Revolutionary War, General Benedict Arnold met at the house with British Major John André, while plotting to surrender the fort at West Point. Later, the house had a brief tenure as headquarters for General George Washington. ==Early history== The house was built about 1770 for Thomas Smith, a lawyer in New York City, who inherited the land following the 1769 death of his father, Judge William Smith. Judge Smith had been a major property owner in the area, and his holdings were divided among his six sons and several daughters. Another son was Joshua Hett Smith, who was living in his brother Thomas's house in 1780.〔Frank Bertangue Green, ''The History of Rockland County'' (1880), p. 93.()〕
