The Polly Crispell Cottage is located in the hamlet of Hurley in Ulster County, New York. The cottage was built in 1735 by Anthony Crispell, a cordwainer.

 

The lower level of the house was once used as a blacksmith shop. The chimneys are fitted with iron spikes which early Dutch settlers believed would keep out witches. The spikes were often referred to as “witch catchers.”
