The Jacob Sloat House, also known as Harmony Hall, is a historic home located in Sloatsburg, New York. Built around 1848 by Jacob Sloat, a prominent local industrialist, the house exemplifies Greek Revival architecture, with later additions reflecting Victorian styles. It is a large two-story structure with symmetrical proportions, distinguished by its columned front porch and ornate decorative details typical of the era.
Harmony Hall was named to reflect the social and cultural ideals of the mid-19th century, a time when Sloat’s family and their associates were heavily involved in industry, community development, and the arts. The home features several large, airy rooms with high ceilings, intricate woodwork, and expansive windows. A sense of openness and harmony is embodied in its design, creating an inviting atmosphere.
Today, Harmony Hall serves as a cultural center, hosting events, exhibits, and community activities. Its grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a serene park-like setting that complements the grandeur of the house itself. Harmony Hall has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2006, recognized for its architectural significance and historical importance to the region.
