The house is also one of the earliest surviving frame houses along the Normans Kill. It shows early settlement and agriculture, and its construction phases from c. 1780 to c. 1860 illustrate architectural change.","narrative":"Set at the end of an unpaved dead-end lane in New Scotland, Albany County, this ten-acre farmstead centers on a frame house that grew through five building phases. The earliest sections date to about 1780 and 1790 and are small one-and-one-half-story units with excavated basements, giving the south side a lean-to profile. A kitchen and woodshed wing was added around 1835, a north wing around 1860, and a small modern bump-out around 1985. Two heavy timber barns from about 1835 and 1879, a corn crib, and a stone-lined well complete the group. The property is tied to the LaGrange family, French Huguenots who reached Albany County in the seventeenth century and farmed land along the Normans Kill within the Van Baal patent. The first section is commonly attributed to Christian LaGrange. The house is considered one of the earliest frame dwellings to survive along the creek, and it reflects early European settlement and long agricultural use.","period_of_significance":"c. 1780-c. 1879","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular; Mid-19th Century Greek Revival; Late Victorian Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling; the outbuildings are described as in excellent repair.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:52.788747-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05001384.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001384/76639ab502-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001384/76639ab502-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"TrudiJ","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LaGrange_Farmstead,_Slingerlands_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">TrudiJ</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LaGrange_Farmstead,_Slingerlands_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316263","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeGrange_Farmstead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6506363"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/legrange-farmstead-05001384/"}
