The 24.6-acre property also has two small outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare surviving Colonial New England saltbox in Columbia County and possibly in New York State. It is described as a museum-quality building that reflects the first wave of New England settlement in New York province. It retains its original form, framing and interior plan despite some repairs.","narrative":"This eighteenth-century frame house sits on a small plateau partway up a steep mountainside on County Route 5 in New Lebanon, Columbia County, New York. It is a two-story, three-bay saltbox with a center entry and center chimney, set on a fieldstone foundation. The interior keeps its original plan and exposed framing, including gunstock corner posts, a paneled parlor fireplace wall and a large kitchen hearth with bake oven and iron crane. The 24.6-acre property also holds two small barns, one probably from the eighteenth century, and a small shed. The house was likely built in the 1760s, possibly for Ebenezer Ide, during the early settlement of the area by New Englanders. It was restored in 1983-84 after deterioration. The nomination treats it as a rare surviving Colonial New England saltbox in the county and possibly the state. Many New York houses only imitate the form by attaching a shed roof to a one-room-deep house, whereas this one is framed as a single piece.","period_of_significance":"c. 1760","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"COLONIAL: Postmedieval English (saltbox type)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single dwelling; rehabilitated and restored in 1983-84, and a large barn on the property burned within the past ten years.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.485528-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/00000880.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316986","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnelly_House_(New_Lebanon,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5296592"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/donnelly-house-00000880/"}
