Title	Front (west side) of Locust Lawn (The Josiah Hasbrouck House)
Creator	Unknown
Date.Original	1891?
Description	Photograph showing the front view (west side) of Locust Lawn (The Josiah Hasbrouck House). Sepia and white oval shaped photograph, with a gray and off white border. Many trees and shrubs are visible in the foreground. Several of the windows shutters have been closed, there are chairs on the porch, and the front door appears to be open.; This view is notable for the vines that have been allowed to grow up the tree trunks, a decidedly picturesque treatment. A deck-like porch has replaced the earlier stoop, which has since been replaced. Note the shrubbery in the foreground, an indication that the picket fence enclosure was a garden space even after the house was the residence of tenants. Locust Lawn (The Josiah Hasbrouck House) was built by Colonel Josiah Hasbrouck around 1814. On the death of Col. Josiah in 1821 the house passed to his son Levi Hasbrouck and his new wife Hylah Bevier. Levi Hasbrouck and Hylah Bevier had 5 children, who were all raised in the Locust Lawn house. After Levi Hasbrouck's death in 1861, the house went to his only son Josiah. Josiah passed the house to his wife Maggie Hasbrouck, who considered selling the Locust Lawn property. Fortunately, in 1889 Laura T. Hasbrouck Varick (1834-1925), bought her sister-in-law Maggie's interest in Locust Lawn so that the property would not be sold out of the family. Laura in turn left the house and farm (now worked under tenants) to her nephew Hasbrouck Innis (1859-1932) whose niece, Annette Innis Young (1885-1975) would bequeath the property to the Huguenot Historical Society (Historic Huguenot Street), in 1958.
