It shows a long, low, two-room-per-floor form recalling Dutch settler plans, with Federal and Greek Revival details. It is rare for its high degree of integrity, having had no indoor plumbing until the 1990s.","narrative":"Overlooking the Shawangunk Kill in the hamlet of Burlingham, this small house was built in the first half of the nineteenth century and is believed to be the framed dwelling named in an 1825 deed, when miller George Hart bought the property. It is a narrow, five-bay, one-and-one-half story frame building on a cut-stone foundation, with a center hall, two rooms on each floor, and exposed stone firebacks at each end. A Federal-style mantel and a Greek Revival entrance enframement show how its details span two periods. Three modest seasonal cottages from the early twentieth century stand nearby, reflecting later family use. The house is valued for its integrity. Unlike many similar homes, it kept its original room layout and had no indoor plumbing until the 1990s, when a bathroom dormer and modern wiring were added. It remained in the Hart family for nearly two centuries and preserves evidence of regional vernacular building.","period_of_significance":"c1825-c1925","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"no style","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed current function is vacant; the house was unoccupied from 1965 until the 1990s, and plumbing and electricity were added in the 1990s.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.097404-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05001535.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322369","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_House_(Burlingham,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706328"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/sullivan-county/hart-house-05001535/"}
