Summary

Description
English: Johnson Hall, at Hall Avenue, West State Street and Johnson Avenue, in Johnstown, New York, was the home of Sir William Johnson (1715–1774) the influential British Superintendent of Indian Affairs in the Province of New York, known for his strong relationship with the Mohawk and other Iroquois League nations. It was designed by Peter Harrison in the Georgian style and built by carpenter Samuel Feller. The house was complete in 1763; Johnson lived there until he died in 1774. The house was seized during the American Revolutionary War after Johnson's son, John, a Loyalist, had fled to Canada. Sold afterwards for use as a private residence, the state bought it in 1906 to preserve it for its historical value. The house was added to the National Historic Landmark in 1960.

This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 66000520.
