It was designed by architect Eugene C. Gardner.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a distinctive, eclectic Stick Style-Queen Anne residence in Westchester County. It is a noteworthy example of the work of Eugene C. Gardner, a prominent Victorian architect and pattern-book author from Springfield, Massachusetts, and is perhaps his only work in New York State. Its plan and stone-and-brick construction are characteristic of his designs.","narrative":"Stonecrest is a house built in 1879 just north of Mount Kisco, in the town of Bedford, Westchester County, New York. Its first story is local granite rubble with brick quoins and brick courses, and its second story is flared wood shingle under a slate hip roof with dormers and Yankee gutters. Inside, rooms open around a central skylit stair hall. The property also keeps a Stick Style carriage house, a stone root cellar and a stone spring house from the same era. Eugene C. Gardner of Springfield, Massachusetts, designed the house. He was a Victorian architect who wrote several pattern books, and Stonecrest is perhaps his only work in New York State. It is valued as a distinctive blend of Stick Style and Queen Anne design. Renovations in 1916 changed porches, windows and interior trim, but much original millwork, flooring and layout survives, and some later changes have been undone.","period_of_significance":"1879 - 1916","architect_builder":"Gardner, Eugene C.; Milliken, H.
