The property covers about 12.35 acres and includes a two-story clapboard main house, a guest house originally built as a caretaker's cottage, an equipment barn, a stable, a stone entrance gate, a swimming pool and the remains of a formal garden. Mrs. Eugene D. Stocker, a wealthy New York widow, commissioned architect Dwight James Baum in 1923 to design it as a seasonal retreat, at a time when wealthy city families were building country seats in the Cherry Valley area. The house is a symmetrical Colonial Revival design with a tall west portico, a port cochere, louvered shutters and a center-hall plan. It was listed for its refined design and high integrity, and as a notable example of Baum's country house work and of the region's estate architecture before the Great Depression.","period_of_significance":"1923","architect_builder":"Dwight James Baum (architect)","architectural_style":"20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the form describes a high level of integrity with minor recent alterations to the kitchen, breezeway and a bathroom.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.417752-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/06001205.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318200","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Hill_(Warren,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7641289"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/herkimer-county/sunset-hill-06001205/"}
