It praises the finely crafted proportions and the builder's combined use of limestone and brownstone, described as unique in the Upper Hudson Valley. It also notes an unframed entrance set directly into the stone wall, and calls the house an important link to the early settlement of Flatbush.","narrative":"Set on the east side of Route 32 in the Flatbush area at the southern end of Saugerties, this two-story stone house was built around 1818 by a member of the Osterhoudt family, on land descended from a 1781 grant to James Osterhoudt. Its five-bay west facade is built of large limestone blocks, divided by a brownstone belt course that holds an odd inset of cobalt blue and white glass. The door and sidelights are cut directly into the stone without a surround. Inside, a center hall with a Federal-era stair divides the rooms, and the basement keeps its original cooking fireplace. Abandonment once led to roof collapse and interior losses, and restoration continues. The house was listed for its architecture: a well-proportioned Federal design, an unusual pairing of limestone and brownstone, and fine masonry. It is one of three stone dwellings built near the 1808 Reformed Church and is a visual landmark of the hamlet.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1818","architect_builder":"A member of the Osterhoudt family (builder, name not given)","architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Years of abandonment before the current owner caused roof collapse on the east side and loss of much second-floor ceiling material; a careful restoration has been under way for about a decade, with much missing material not yet replaced.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.042203-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/01000717.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322691","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osterhoudt_Stone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7107656"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/oaterhoudt-stone-house-01000717/"}
