Three outbuildings stand with it: a large barn, a small brick fowl house and a wagon shed.","why_significant":"The house is presented as an outstanding and highly intact example of Colonial Revival architecture in Columbia County. Its exterior uses simple Georgian features, while the public rooms combine Queen Anne carved woodwork with Neoclassical plasterwork. It was reportedly designed by Hudson architect Henry S. Moul and was occupied by three generations of the Requa family.","narrative":"Set on a high terrace above the Hudson River in Stuyvesant, this Colonial Revival house was built in 1904 as a country estate for Leonard F. Requa, a New York City businessman and founder of a wire and cable company. Family tradition credits Hudson architect Henry S. Moul with the design. The exterior uses restrained Georgian details, including two-story gabled porticoes facing the drive and the river and a hipped roof topped by a balustraded widow's walk. Inside, parlors and halls combine carved golden and darkened oak woodwork, parquet floors and classical mantels, and the original room arrangement survives, including servants' rooms in the attic. A barn built over a stream, a wagon shed and a small brick fowl house complete the farm complex. The property is recognized for its architecture, as a well-preserved example of the style in Columbia County, and it stayed with the Requa family for three generations until 1980.","period_of_significance":"1904","architect_builder":"Moul, Henry","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; interior features are described as extremely well preserved, with only a modern bathroom alteration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.64876-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/02001325.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317057","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requa_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7314781"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/requa-house-02001325/"}
