Martin Park, New Hyde Park, Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, New York. It has an early-nineteenth century core, two mid-nineteenth century sections and a circa 1920 addition, and was moved about half a mile in 1952.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance under Criterion C as an example of a vernacular New England-style Long Island farmhouse, built in distinct phases and enlarged with telescoping additions. Surviving interior and framing details show its evolution from the early nineteenth to the early twentieth century. It remains representative of farmhouses once common in Nassau County despite its relocation.","narrative":"Set within Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park, this two-story wood-frame farmhouse reflects more than a century of growth on Long Island. It began with an early-nineteenth century core, originally one and a half stories and later raised to two, and gained two mid-nineteenth century sections and a circa 1920 addition, forming a T-shaped plan with telescoping rooflines. Inside, Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic-style and Colonial Revival details mark each building phase, and framing in the attic and basement confirms the different construction dates. The house originally stood about half a mile west on land later taken by the Sperry Corporation. In 1952 it was moved in one piece by truck to save it from demolition, and it now faces west rather than south. Aluminum siding is being removed to reveal clapboard beneath. Long vacancy has left it in poor condition, but the interior remains largely intact. It was listed as a representative New England-style Long Island farmhouse.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1800-1952","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in poor condition from long-term vacancy and deferred maintenance; windows are boarded up, and the Town of North Hempstead plans to stabilize it as a first step toward rehabilitation.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.116212-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/07000863.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000863/1aeb4213a1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000863/1aeb4213a1-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Infrastorian","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cornell-Van_Nostrand_House,_Clinton_G._Martin_Park,_Manhasset_Hills,_NY_August_6,_2026_A.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Infrastorian</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cornell-Van_Nostrand_House,_Clinton_G._Martin_Park,_Manhasset_Hills,_NY_August_6,_2026_A.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319083","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell-Van_Nostrand_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5171494"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/nassau-county/cornell-van-nostrand-house-07000863/"}
