It shows the style's asymmetrical massing, steeply pitched complex roofs, projecting bays, porches, elaborate cornices and finials, along with well-preserved interior finishes.","narrative":"Built around 1860 on the east side of Albany Avenue in Kingston, this two and one-half story frame house sits on a deep lot of 80 by 270 feet. Clapboard walls, a steeply pitched mansard roof with two intersecting gables, patterned slate, paired brackets, finials and segmental arched windows with carved labels give it the look of the Picturesque style. A three-sided bay window and a single-story entry porch with chamfered posts mark the front. Inside, a central hall double-pile plan survives, along with carved newels and balusters, molded surrounds, plaster cornices, mantels and ornamental plaster ceilings. The house is recognized for its architectural integrity and for representing Picturesque design, with Gothic Revival influences, in Kingston's Albany Avenue neighborhood. Early occupants included Dr. Charles Banker, an osteopathic physician, in 1909, and Vincent Gorman, a department store vice president, by 1921. A modern pool and garage at the rear do not contribute to its significance.","period_of_significance":"c.1860","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Queen Anne (form classification); described in the text as Picturesque, reflecting Gothic Revival aesthetics","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family dwelling; the interior is described as highly intact, with a non-contributing modern pool, patio and garage at the rear.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.626001-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/02001317.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001317/b4778f7db0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001317/b4778f7db0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:184_Albany_Avenue,_Kingston,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://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:184_Albany_Avenue,_Kingston,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315222","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_184_Albany_Avenue","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914008"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/house-at-184-albany-avenue-02001317/"}
