Its buildings date from the mid-19th century and the early 20th century, including a Greek Revival farmhouse.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is a rare surviving complete farmstead in Ulster County. It shows two phases of agriculture: 19th-century subsistence farming and early 20th-century specialized dairying. It also retains uncommon outbuildings such as a slaughterhouse, hoop shop and smokehouse, and the house keeps a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Set on a hill above the Mombaccus Creek valley, this 27-acre farm on Cherrytown Road in Rochester, Ulster County, preserves a nearly complete working farmstead. Thirteen contributing buildings are grouped around a horseshoe driveway: a two-story, five-bay Greek Revival timber-frame house and a range of specialized outbuildings. Nine buildings date from the mid-19th century, including the smokehouse, privy, slaughterhouse, swine house, hoop shop, granary, chicken house and tool shed. Four date from the early 20th century: a gambrel-roofed barn built in 1933 after a fire, plus an ice house, milk house and garage. James Terwilliger bought the farm in 1850, and Friend Smith acquired it in 1919 and modernized it for dairying. The property was listed because it shows the shift from subsistence farming to specialized dairy production. Its slaughterhouse is described as especially rare locally, and its hoop shop recalls the barrel and hoop trade that supplied Hudson Valley industries.","period_of_significance":"ca.1830-ca.1933","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century / Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current uses are both given as single-family dwelling and agricultural, including processing, storage, fields, animal facilities and outbuildings.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.541661-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/02001658.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001658/6f8c25caf4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001658/6f8c25caf4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Terwilliger-Smith_Farm_main_house,_Kerhonkson,_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:Terwilliger-Smith_Farm_main_house,_Kerhonkson,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322739","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terwilliger%E2%80%93Smith_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7705373"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/terwilliger-smith-farm-02001658/"}
