The house was built in phases from about 1795 to about 1867.","why_significant":"The house shows Federal and Late Georgian features in its c. 1795 main block, plus a c. 1840 Greek Revival wing and a later north wing. It is tied to the McLean family, early settlers of Battenville and its mill industry. The surrounding barns, a commercial building and other resources add to the property's rural and commercial history.","narrative":"This farm property in Battenville, a small mill hamlet in the Town of Greenwich, Washington County, centers on a timber-frame house built in stages between about 1795 and about 1867. The two-story, five-bay main block has a center-passage plan, a fanlighted entrance with a decorative frontispiece blending Late Georgian and Federal motifs, and wood mantels in both styles. A story-and-a-half wing added around 1840 has a recessed porch and Greek Revival entablatures, and a north wing followed after 1867. Roof framing shows the main block was first hipped and later gabled. The property also includes two timber-frame barns, a small Federal-detailed commercial building, a shed and a stone foundation remnant. Thomas McLean helped found the local woolen mill around 1815, and his brother Judge John McLean later took over the mill. The Susan B. Anthony family was brought to Battenville through that mill business. The house remains a single dwelling today.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling, with one outbuilding used for storage; one timber frame barn is described as in an advanced state of deterioration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:54.020923-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/07001128.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322849","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_McLean_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7792335"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/washington-county/mclean-thomas-house-07001128/"}
