The nominated property also includes farm outbuildings and a stone wall.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is locally significant as one of the earliest identified surviving Colonial-period farmhouses near Warwick village. It reflects settlement of the area by Connecticut emigrants, and it later became part of the Sanford dairy farm, which gives it significance in agriculture. It also relates to the neighboring General John Hathorn Stone House and to an unaltered stretch of the Kings Highway.","narrative":"Along Hathorn Road in the Town of Warwick, Orange County, stands a farmhouse that grew in three stages. The oldest section dates to about 1767 and was built for Adonijah Morehouse, a settler from Ridgefield, Connecticut. Around 1840 the house was widened into a five-bay center-passage plan, and about 1860 the roof was raised to give it a full two stories. Greek Revival details include window entablatures with pilasters and a chinoiserie-inspired stair balustrade. Hand-hewn and sawn framing show the changing construction methods. In the later 19th century the property became part of the Sanford dairy farm, run by Pierson E. Sanford. The nominated land includes a large dairy barn, a granary, a horse barn, a shed, a hitching post, a millstone carriage step and a stone wall. The site sits beside the General John Hathorn Stone House and a surviving stretch of the Colonial Kings Highway. Together these features preserve an early farm landscape tied to Connecticut settlement and later agricultural development.","period_of_significance":"C. 1767-1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival; Late Victorian","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling with agricultural fields.
