Hilton. It also reflects early settlement after the Revolutionary War and the Loonenburg Turnpike. The circa 1800 Dutch barn is noted as a rare regional building type.","narrative":"Built in 1799 for merchant and farmer Peter A. Hilton, this brick farmhouse sits on a knoll beside New York Route 10 near Beekman Corners in the town of Sharon. The five-bay, center-hall house has a round-arched entrance, a tripartite window above the door, 12/12 sash, and finely made Federal moldings. An open staircase rises to the attic, and the kitchen wing keeps its large cooking hearth and brick bake oven. Local craftsmen built it, and the decorative work reflects the influence of New England builders who arrived after the Revolution. Hilton chose the site for its position on the Loonenburg Turnpike, and he later served as town supervisor and state assemblyman. The 24-acre parcel keeps a circa 1800 Dutch barn, a horse barn and a pig and sheep barn, which together show how a substantial early settler's farm looked. The property was recognized for its settlement history and its well-preserved Federal architecture.","period_of_significance":"1799-circa 1850","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current use is single-family residence; a 1979 frame wing is being removed and a carriage house converted to a garage is non-contributing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:54.016449-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/04001063.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321745","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A._Hilton_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7172434"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schoharie-county/hilton-peter-a-house-04001063/"}
