The '''Cold Spring Cemetery Gatehouse''' is located along Peekshill Road in [[Nelsonville, New York|Nelsonville]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[United States]]. It is a cut [[granite]] [[Gothic Revival]] [[cottage]] built in 1863, one of the earliest uses of that style in the [[Hudson Highlands]].<ref name="Garrison Four Corners subunit" /> It is used as a house today and was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1982.

It is a one-story building of [[course (architecture)|coursed]] [[granite]] with a [[Hip roof|jerkinhead roof]] cross-[[gable]]d on both north and south (front and back). The roof is pierced by a [[brick]] [[chimney]]; the [[arch]]ed projecting front entrance is flanked by [[lancet window]]s. The east facade, facing the cemetery, has a [[porch]] whose roof is supported by four pillars with [[ornament (architecture)|decorative]] [[bracket (architecture)|brackets]]. There is a projecting [[bay window]] on the west side. Both gables are topped by two [[dormer window]]s. Opposite the house is a small stone booth with lancet windows, connected to the cemetery's stone wall.<ref name="NRHP nom" />

The Cold Spring Rural Cemetery Association bought a {{convert|30|acre|ha|adj=on}} parcel in Nelsonville shortly after its formation in 1862. [[New York City]] architectural and [[Landscape architecture|landscape gardening]] firm [[George E. Woodward|Mead and Woodward]] were hired to design the grounds while Woodward's frequent collaborator [[George Edward Harney|George E. Harney]] worked on the gatehouse. It was finished by 1865 in time for its photograph to be used in the association's [[bylaw]]s pamphlet.<ref name="NRHP nom" />
