The 1842 stone house is an outstanding regional example of Greek Revival design and stone craftsmanship, later augmented by Italianate features. Together the farm buildings, landscape features and acreage record the evolution of Cornwall's agricultural economy.","narrative":"Set on the north side of New York Route 94 in Cornwall, this 51-acre farm centers on a two-and-one-half story stone house dated 1842 by a brownstone tablet. The house has finely cut ashlar on its front, a bracketed cornice, six-over-six windows and a later Italianate porch. Around it survive a timber-frame carriage barn, a cow and hay barn, a milk house built over a spring-fed cistern, a tile silo, stone gateposts, retaining walls and a stretch of the old dirt road bypassed by the modern highway. The farm grew during the expansion of dairy farming in the mid-Hudson Valley, when canal and rail links gave producers access to New York City markets. The nomination values the property for its stone craftsmanship, its Greek Revival design, and the intact combination of buildings, field pattern and setting, which is rare in a town where farmland is being developed for housing. Little is known of Walsh, who owned the property by 1851.","period_of_significance":"1842-ca.1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house remains in residential use and the carriage barn is now used as a garage; the farm acreage is still included with the property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.345096-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/01001384.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01001384/22d9ffe86c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01001384/22d9ffe86c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Walsh_Stone_Farmhouse.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:Walsh_Stone_Farmhouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314207","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Walsh_Stone_House_and_Farm_Complex","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4648530"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/walsh-a-stone-house-and-farm-complex-01001384/"}
