Lente.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare, recognizable example of Richard Upjohn's Italianate residential work, retaining his plan and details despite a later mansard roof. It is also significant as the home of Dr. Frederick D. Lente, a prominent surgeon and founder of the American Medical Association, who served the West Point Foundry from 1851 to 1875. The land was originally part of the Foundry Association's holdings.","narrative":"Set on a bluff above Route 9D in Cold Spring, this red brick villa was designed by architect Richard Upjohn and completed in 1853 for Dr. Frederick D. Lente, surgeon to the nearby West Point Foundry. Its rectangular plan, center hall, segmentally arched windows, bracketed porch, and one-story rear corner wing are typical of Upjohn's Italianate houses. Lente corresponded closely with the architect and requested French windows that slide into the walls, which survive. A mansard roof replaced the original hipped roof between the 1870s and 1890s. After Lente's widow died in 1901, the house passed to Our Lady of Loretto parish and served as a priests' convalescent home and then, from 1918, as a convent for teaching sisters. It has stood vacant since 1977 and is now owned by the village, which received it with about one acre of land. The property was listed for its architecture, its link to Lente, and its ties to the foundry.","period_of_significance":"1852-c. 1870's-90's","architect_builder":"Upjohn, Richard","architectural_style":"Italian Villa/Italianate/Second Empire","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Vacant since 1977 and deteriorated, with a partially collapsed chimney, broken sash, and a structurally unsound staircase; owned by the Village of Cold Spring and awaiting restoration.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.168569-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/08001080.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001080/2f68f85feb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001080/2f68f85feb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Grove,_Cold_Spring,_NY,_front_left_view.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://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:The_Grove,_Cold_Spring,_NY,_front_left_view.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"82001235","name":"Cold Spring Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/cold-spring-historic-district-82001235/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321034","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grove_(Cold_Spring,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14707439"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/putnam-county/grove-the-08001080/"}
