It adds that the intact set of nineteenth and early twentieth century farm outbuildings, the acreage and the rural setting give further significance. The property is also tied to the Wheeler family, early landowners in the Oblong area.","narrative":"Set along Indian Lake Road in Millerton, in the town of North East, this farm centers on a two-story timber-frame house built around 1800. It is a five-bay, center-hall Federal dwelling with a side kitchen wing, a stone foundation, wood shingle roof and hand-hewn heavy timbers. Inside, the wide hallway keeps its original stairway, doors, hardware and wide-board floors, and twin parlors have matching fireplaces. Twentieth-century changes were mostly limited to indoor plumbing. A ca. 1800 backhouse group, including a summer kitchen, wood shed, granary, stables and carriage house, completes the farmstead. The farm once held 500 acres and now covers about 18, within the Coleman Station Historic District. It was listed for its architecture, as a strong local example of Federal era design with restrained detail, and for its intact outbuildings and rural setting. The Wheeler family, early settlers of the Oblong lands, owned it through much of the nineteenth century, and its period of significance runs from about 1800 to about 1920.","period_of_significance":"ca.1800-ca.1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in residential use as a single dwelling with agricultural storage; the surrounding area remains in agricultural use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.993483-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/00001417.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001417/43ff5beef4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001417/43ff5beef4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomas_N_Wheeler_farmhouse,_Millerton,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomas_N_Wheeler_farmhouse,_Millerton,_NY.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"93000945","name":"Coleman Station Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/coleman-station-historic-district-93000945/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317520","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_N._Wheeler_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7792667"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/wheeler-thomas-n-farm-00001417/"}
