Downing and Samuel Sloan. It is also tied to Algernon S. Dodge, a local lumber dealer and merchant who supplied railroad ties for the Erie Railroad, linking it to the area's industry.","narrative":"Set on a wooded, terraced parcel in the village of Otisville, this frame Gothic Revival house was built around 1855 for Algernon S. Dodge, a local merchant and lumber dealer. It has a one and one-half story main block with three steeply pitched gables, bargeboards, turned finials, Gothic-arched windows and a wood verandah with clustered columns. A two-story rear wing gives the house an L-shaped plan. Inside, the plan and many finishes survive, including struck plaster cornices, wood-grained doors, marble mantelpieces and period radiators, much of it from renovations in the late 1870s. The grounds retain a Gothic-style barn, potting shed and outhouse, plus stone walls, old trees and a hitching post. Dodge supplied lumber and railroad ties for the Erie Railroad, which connects the property to the area's industrial growth. The house is recognized for its architecture, its intact condition and its association with Dodge, who lived there until his death in 1881.","period_of_significance":"c. 1855- c. 1900","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Gothic Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a single dwelling, with the rear wing used as a guesthouse.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.623857-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/08000142.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000142/29d7da0358-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000142/29d7da0358-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dodge-Greenleaf_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dodge-Greenleaf_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320628","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge-Greenleaf_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5287826"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/dodge-greenleaf-house-08000142/"}
