Nathan Wild House

The Nathan Wild House is an historic building in Valatie, Columbia County, New York, United States. Built by Nathan Wild, a prominent local figure, in 1826, the original Federal-style building was continually expanded throughout the years as the Wild family's textile mills in the area flourished. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as a result of its historical and architectural significance.

The Nathan Wild House is located on Main Street in the village of Valatie, 18 miles south of Albany, New York. It is situated on a 3.7-acre lot, which extends a full block. The house itself faces southward toward the road. It was built as a two-story, wood-frame Federal-style structure and eventually expanded using Italianate architecture. Several wings were added onto the residence after its initial construction, as well as a ballroom, which was built before 1873 off the west wing. A porch is located on the front facade, and a small back porch was added to the main section around 1850. The building's interior does not contain much of its original detail as a result of extensive remodeling at the same time. Since the home was profiled in History of Columbia County, New York by Franklin Ellis, it has not undergone any major changes.
