Bradt Family Home – (now the home of the Harris Family). Located on Church Hill Road, this home was built prior to 1866. The front of this octagonal home faces the Mohawk River. Until the Crescent Dam was constructed, the Terminal Road continued parallel to the Mohawk River in front of this home. Today, most of Terminal Road is under water and we now see the back of the home, which faces on Church Hill Road.
