Verbeck House

The Verbeck House is located on Church Street (NY 50) just south of downtown Ballston Spa, New York, United States. It is a frame house built in the late 19th century. It was one of the last buildings designed by regionally important architect Marcus F. Cummings. The building is one of the few house

s he designed late in his career, and one of his few in the Queen Anne architectural style. It retains much of its ornate period interior decorations. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was used for a time afterwards as the National Bottle Museum, which obtained a state matching grant to restore it. The museum later moved to larger quarters in the village's downtown following a legal dispute with its parent organization. Today the house is home to some professional offices.
