It combines an asymmetrical plan with finely crafted classical details. The interior stair, stair light and woodwork are described as exceptional and largely intact.","narrative":"Standing on a narrow corner lot at Albany and Wiltwyck Avenues in Kingston, this single-family house was built in 1897 and blends late Queen Anne forms with emerging Colonial Revival detail. The wood frame structure rises two and one-half stories on a stone foundation, with clapboard on the first floor, shingles above, and a steeply pitched hipped roof. Doric porch columns, a pedimented gable with laurel and garland ornament, a Palladian window and diamond-pattern upper sashes mark the exterior. Inside, a side hall plan centers on a handsome staircase lit by a large leaded-glass stair light, with parquet floors, Queen Anne style fireplaces and a built-in china cabinet. The room plan, finishes and woodwork survive largely unchanged. A carriage house from the same period remains behind the house. The property was listed for its architecture, as an outstanding local example of a transitional style and for the quality of its interior craftsmanship.","period_of_significance":"1897","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival (transitional Queen Anne/Colonial Revival)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the carriage house is now used as a garage.
