Before it was destroyed by arsonist fire in 1931, the original mansion served as the headquarters of Major General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben during the American Revolutionary War.

The ruin of the house was left abandoned until 1966 when a descendant of the Verplanck family, founded the Mount Gulian Society with the goal of restoring Mount Gulian which was completed in 1975.
