The Wilson House in Garrison, New York, is a one-and-a-half-story wooden cottage executed in the Carpenter Gothic style, situated near Garrison Landing along the Hudson River. Built with a combination of clapboard and board-and-batten siding over a stone foundation, the structure features a steeply pitched cross-gabled roof with seamed metal covering, louvered trefoil vents in the gable ends, and a gabled dormer window with a pointed-arch opening that matches the treatment of the paneled main entrance. Shed-roofed porches with chamfered piers extend from the south and west elevations. The house is recognized as among the finest examples of Gothic detailing in the Hudson Highlands and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as part of the Hudson Highlands Multiple Resource Area.
