It is also tied to General John Hathorn, a Revolutionary War militia officer who commanded at the Battle of Minisink and later served in the state legislature and U.S. Congress. The brick gable monogram and date reflect Germanic-influenced building traditions.","narrative":"Built in 1773 by John and Elizabeth Hathorn, this one-and-one-half story house in Warwick, Orange County, is made of coursed ashlar and uncoursed rubblestone. Its west gable carries the initials of the builders and the date set in brick among the stones, a feature the nomination links to Germanic building traditions. Later owners added frame side and rear wings in the Victorian era, and a Greek Revival outbuilding stands behind the house. John Hathorn trained as a surveyor, settled in the area in 1770, and became a militia colonel and later general. He commanded troops at the 1779 Battle of Minisink and went on to serve as speaker of the New York Assembly, a state senator and a member of the U.S. Congress. He died at the house in 1825. Once part of a 300-acre farm, the house is the sole surviving remnant of Hathorn's life there and is regarded as an intact example of Hudson Valley stone craft.","period_of_significance":"1773-ca.1850","architect_builder":"John Hathorn","architectural_style":"Colonial","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family dwelling; the form describes nearly two and one-half centuries of continuous occupation and an outstanding degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.789811-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/01000252.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000252/3974dff1cc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000252/3974dff1cc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:General_John_Hathorn_Stone_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"http://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:General_John_Hathorn_Stone_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320758","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_John_Hathorn_Stone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5531975"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/stone-gen-john-hathorn-house-01000252/"}
