Tibbits House, also known as Tibbits Hall, is a historic home located at Hoosick in Rensselaer County, New York. The house was built about 1860 and one and one half story, rectangular Gothic Revival style building. It is constructed of cut ashlar sandstone blocks and has steeply pitched gable roofs covered with fishscale slate. It features projecting porches, bay windows, changes of rooflines, dormers, chimneys, and two towers. The property was originally owned by U.S. Congressman George Tibbits (1763–1849); his son George Mortimer Tibbets (1796-1878) built the Tibbits House. The Tibbits estate was a stop on the Underground Railroad. The building was acquired by the Hoosac School in 1952 and is used as a dormitory, classrooms, and for administrative offices.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
