Its flared-eave gambrel roof and center-hall plan are typical of the lower Hudson Valley. The framed, clapboarded upper gambrel end walls are unusual there and more commonly associated with Ulster County. The house also keeps its form, floor plan and many interior finishes.","narrative":"Set on the west side of Blue Hill Road in Orangetown, this stone house was built around 1790 on what remains of a larger farm lot. It is a one-and-one-half story dwelling of rough-cut stone with a slate-covered gambrel roof, flared eaves, three shed dormers and a side entrance. Inside, a center hall and double-pile plan retain Federal-era mantels, built-in cupboards, wide plank floors, plaster and moldings. The land was part of the Kakiat Patent, and the house is linked to Michael Sayler, who married into the Mabie family in 1783. A distinctive feature is the timber-framed, clapboarded upper gambrel walls, a practice more often found in Ulster County. The house was listed for its architecture as a regional example of late eighteenth-century Hudson Valley building tradition. The Town of Orangetown received it in 1992, and it now functions as a museum.","period_of_significance":"ca.1790","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal; Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Donated to the Town of Orangetown in 1992; current function is listed as museum, and the property owner is the Orangetown Historical Museum & Archive.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.149663-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/02001654.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001654/de7633fcd4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001654/de7633fcd4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Michael_Salyer_Stone_House,_Orangetown,_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:Michael_Salyer_Stone_House,_Orangetown,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321498","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Salyer_Stone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706952"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/rockland-county/salyer-michael-stone-house-02001654/"}
