It also appears to reflect a Germanic stove-room arrangement linked to Palatine tenants. It is the last surviving building of the Ten Broeck family farmstead, whose main house was razed in 1904.","narrative":"This limestone farmhouse on Flatbush Road in the Town of Ulster, near Kingston, was built in three one-room, story-and-a-half sections in about 1751, 1765 and 1770. Benjamin Ten Broeck I had it built as a tenant house for the Felten family, who may have been of Palatine German descent. Its walls are local limestone rubble set in clay or mud mortar and lime-washed, with hewn beams, rafter pairs with collar ties and clapboarded gable tops. The sections were added in a line, a common method for Dutch farmhouses of the region. Heating evidence includes jambless hearths later replaced with jambed fireplaces, and a probable five-plate stove in the west room, a Germanic arrangement. The main Ten Broeck house nearby was damaged by British gunboats in 1777 and razed in 1904, leaving this tenant house as the last building of the family farmstead. Some historic fabric has been lost to alterations and theft, but the house remains a readable example of pre-Revolutionary building traditions.","period_of_significance":"c. 1751-c. 1790","architect_builder":"Built by Benjamin Ten Broeck I (as a tenant house for the Felten family); local builders not named","architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently a single dwelling; some loss of integrity from alterations and theft of original elements (an interior door and shutters), with the owner planning restoration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.189173-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05001395.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001395/3c0cdb76a4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001395/3c0cdb76a4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Benjamin_Ten_Broeck_House.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:Benjamin_Ten_Broeck_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322737","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Ten_Broeck_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q817711"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/ten-broeck-benjamin-house-05001395/"}
