The surviving mid-19th-century outbuildings, including a rare local apple (fruit) barn from ca. 1870, recall the town's agricultural boom. Its hilltop siting makes it a local landmark.","narrative":"Set on a hilltop beside NY 143 near Coeymans Hollow, this farmhouse dates to about 1850 and is a two-story, five-bay timber frame dwelling with clapboard siding, a gable roof, a molded cornice with partial returns, and six-over-six windows. The centered entrance has a single-panel door with pilasters and sidelights, and the interior keeps a narrow central hall between two large parlors, along with original architraves and some mantels. A kitchen wing extends to the north. The 10-acre property also holds a barn, a ca. 1870 fruit barn, a shed and a chicken coop. The fruit barn is a rare local survivor of the apple-growing industry that flourished in the town. The property was listed for its architecture: it is a well-preserved example of Greek Revival design in a rural community, with its original layout, finishes, setting and outbuildings largely intact, and it is considered an important local landmark.","period_of_significance":"ca.1850-ca.1890","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling with agricultural storage; the form says the house remains largely unchanged, with twentieth-century plumbing and central heating added.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.591768-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/01001434.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316365","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Van_Der_Zee_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5006925"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/van-der-zee-c-house-01001434/"}
