It has a c. 1805 Federal-style core, a c. 1840 Greek Revival remodeling and a rear service wing of uncertain, possibly eighteenth-century date.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is an intact example of mature Greek Revival domestic architecture in Goshen, with Federal-period interior woodwork retained from the earlier house. It is also significant for its long association with the Wisner family, prominent in Goshen and the region since the eighteenth century, and for the possibility that the rear wing was the home of Gabriel Wisner, killed after the 1779 Battle of Minisink.","narrative":"Oak Hill, at 145 South Street on the southern edge of Goshen, is a farmhouse that grew in several phases on a four-acre landscaped parcel. Its front section, five bays wide and two and one-half stories tall, took its present Greek Revival form around 1840, when an earlier Federal-style house of about 1805 was enlarged and updated. Inside, the center-hall plan keeps Federal mantels, paneled doors, delicate moldings and the original stair. A rear service wing with a large cooking hearth is reputed to date to the eighteenth century, though inspection could not confirm this. The property is tied to the Wisner family, who lived here for generations and were prominent in local affairs. Gabriel Wisner, killed after the 1779 Battle of Minisink, may have lived in the earliest part. George T. Wisner, a banker and horse breeder, likely directed the c. 1805 and c. 1840 work. The house was listed for its architecture and its role in the area's settlement.","period_of_significance":"c. 1770-c. 1905","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-dwelling residence, with four non-contributing outbuildings on a four-acre landscaped parcel.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:52.996507-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05000634.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320791","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_T._Wisner_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5545060"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/wisner-george-t-house-05000634/"}
