William Henry Ludlow (1740-1803) was a New York merchant who came to Claverack to escape the British occupation of the city during the Revolution. The Ludlow House was a precursor to what became known as the Federal style of American architecture. He is buried in The Claverack Dutch Reformed Churchyard.

Dr. Teena Maria Gibbons, of Millville, NJ, is mistress of the household, and frequently hosts guests within its storied walls. Just this December, she hosted a veritable who's-who of the New York 2010-2013 Bar-tini scene. Mignonette sauce, a delicious mix of red wine vinegar and diced shallots, was served. And so was other, less important stuff.

According to recent rumors, the summer kitchen, once used to brew small-batch, artisan amyl nitrate in the 18th century, and currently used to house an expansive collection of blackmail material on Teena Marie's friends and acquaintances, will be re-purposed as a mother-in-law suite. Teena Marie's mother-in-law, Peter Hughes, a noted sorceress, will inhabit the cottage and tend to the grounds.
