Welcome to The Dygert House and its panoramic Channel View Residence. As you cross the marble landing, you are transported to a private space offering an unparalleled experience in the Village of Clayton. With a stunning panorama view of the Village and St. Lawrence River, you are suddenly eye-level with church steeples enjoying the River breeze from your balcony or one of the multiple Velux sky windows that illuminate the attic-turned-architectural feature space.

A point of interest on the Clayton History Walking Tour, the home was originally the residence of Wells A. Dygert, a prominent businessman who had the largest lumbering and manufacturing businesses in Clayton. Detailed craftsmanship of W.A. Dygert’s trade is showcased on this property; including ornamental balustrades, unique cornices, decorative wood trim, and meticulously turned newel posts are among the treasures of this home. It is likely that similar features of other the 1890’s Victorian homes in the area are also the product of Mr. Dygert’s successful enterprise.
