The first Columbia County Court House at Claverack, built in 1786, sold with adjoining land and a tenant house to Clarence Kells of Claverack. Once county seat until 1805, it hosted notable trials including Dr. Croswell in 1804 before Chief Justice Lewis over a Jefferson libel, with Ambrose Spencer, Van Ness, and Hamilton involved. The building later served as a school, social hall, and transformed residence, preserving the jail and dungeon in the garden area.
