It is nominated for his tenancy, c. 1815-1856, under areas of exploration/settlement, politics/government and industry. It is not nominated for architectural design because of 20th-century alterations, though some details show a high level of original finish.","narrative":"Built around 1815 for Daniel Wood Wing, this two-story brick house on Broadway in Fort Edward follows the traditional Federal pattern of five bays with a center entrance and end-gabled roof, with a brick ell at the rear. A brick wing was added about 1879 and a short frame extension by 1880. Wing was a leading early citizen whose lumber and mercantile businesses and mills relied on the Hudson River, the Champlain Canal and the Glens Falls Feeder Canal, and he helped shape the settlement of Fort Edward until his death in 1856. Later owners included James M. Northup, known as the Potato King, and his son H. Davis Northup. The Knights of Columbus held the house from 1927 and altered its interior. The Washington County Historical Society acquired it in 1982 and restored Federal-period features, including the center hall, six-over-six windows and the front porch. A south parlor mantel with Neoclassical composition ornament reflects the original quality of finish.","period_of_significance":"C. 1815-1856","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal","criteria":["A","B"],"status_note":"Restored in the 1980s and in use as the Washington County Historical Society headquarters, with a research room, library and meeting space; physical integrity is described as moderate.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.808433-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/08000862.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000862/c9e897d31f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000862/c9e897d31f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Upstate New York","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wing-Northup_House_Sep_09.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from Upstate New York</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wing-Northup_House_Sep_09.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322882","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing-Northup_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8025067"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/washington-county/wing-northup-house-08000862/"}
