It combines Bungalow-form features with Craftsman stonework and interior woodwork. A stone retaining wall in front of the house contributes to its significance. It was built through financier J. Pierpont Morgan as a gift to organist Homer A. Norris.","narrative":"Overlooking Greenwood Lake on a rocky bluff in Warwick, The Boulders is a two-story house of local fieldstone built in 1911-12 as a year-round home and composing studio for Homer A. Norris, organist and choirmaster of St. George's Episcopal Church in Manhattan. Financier J. Pierpont Morgan arranged and paid for the house as a gift, and hired architect Grosvenor Atterbury to design it. The house sits on a stone foundation set in bedrock, with a steep gable roof, broad dormers, and a lakeside terrace carried on massive stone piers. Inside, white birch paneling, pine floors, six fireplaces and a cathedral-ceilinged Great Room with built-in seating reflect Craftsman ideas. Features such as the compact plan, wide eaves with exposed rafter ends, and recessed porches reflect the Bungalow form. A low stone retaining wall in front of the house, built with matching stone, is counted as a contributing resource. The house is valued as an unusually intact Craftsman design.","period_of_significance":"1911-1912","architect_builder":"Atterbury, Grosvenor","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function are both single-family dwelling; the form says the house retains a high degree of original fabric and integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.727509-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/01000848.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000848/a56d92ca8c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000848/a56d92ca8c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ.
