The Elmendorph Inn, is the oldest building in the village of Red Hook, New York, United States.[1] It is located at the north corner of North Broadway (US 9) and Cherry Street, a block north of the junction of Route 9 and NY 199.
It was built in the mid-18th century as an inn to serve long-distance travelers on the Albany Post Road. In the 1810s, it became the meeting place of the Red Hook Town Board for the next several decades. It has had a number of owners; the Elmendorphs are the earliest known ones. In the 1830s, it was expanded and renovated, eventually becoming just a residence. After a recent[when?] restoration it has become a community center. In 1978 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
