Review & FAQ:
The Gomez Mill House is located in the Town of Newburgh, New York. Built in 1714, it is the earliest surviving Jewish dwelling in North America. It is also the oldest home in Orange County. The house was built for Luis Moses Gomez, a Sephardic Jewish trader whose Spanish Jewish ancestors escaped to France from the Spanish Inquisition. Gomez came to New York in the late 1690s and established himself as a prominent businessman and leader within the early Jewish community of New York. In 1772, a Dutch Colonist, Wolfert Acker, bought the property and added a second story and attic using bricks made from local clay. Since then, the house changed many owners and many uses until it was purchased in 1984 by the New York City-based Gomez Foundation for Mill House, to be used as a museum open to the public.
