context_page_description: The James Walker Fowler House was a historic house in Newburgh, New York, built by Judge James Walker Fowler c. 1850. After Fowler's death, the house passed through two owners before becoming the residence of Captain Thomas S. Marvel, a shipyard owner at the turn of the 20th century. In the 1970s, the house was demolished as part of the city's Urban Renewal efforts.
context_section_description: About two generations of Marvels remained in the house until a Jane or Jennie Marvel sold it in 1918 to the Fowlers , relation to James Walker unknown. Grace Lefevre Fowler and her husband Abram DuBois Fowler were likely descendants of the Huguenots at New Paltz; many Huguenots, primarily of the Hasbrouck and Deyo families, moved to Newburgh, New Hurley, and Kingston in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Fowlers also worshipped at the Dutch Reformed Church, common with Huguenots; some attended the Old Dutch Church for many generations. The house sold to a "Mr. Deegan" after the death of Grace. After 1950, the house became an apartment building.
