The Samuel Brooks House is a cottage located on Pleasant Hill Road north of Mountainville in Cornwall, New York, built around 1860. Rendered in a mix of Victorian styles—notably Carpenter Gothic and Stick Style—the dwelling exemplifies the residential architecture that emerged as Cornwall became a fashionable summer resort community in the late nineteenth century. Its proximity to Schunemunk Mountain and picturesque architectural character attracted seasonal boarders seeking rural retreat. The house survives substantially intact and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
