It preserves a frontier-settled hamlet whose dwellings show Federal and Greek Revival design, including the Anson Pratt House, built about 1812 in the Adam-inspired Federal taste. The Methodist and Reformed church and the Van Valkenburgh house add further examples of period design.","narrative":"New Concord is a small hamlet in the Town of Chatham, in north-central Columbia County, New York, about ten miles west of the Massachusetts border. Its historic district follows County Route 9 north and south of a small green and holds 40 contributing and 13 noncontributing resources, mostly frame houses with barns and other outbuildings, plus a church and a cemetery. Most buildings date from the early to mid-19th century, though a few 18th-century houses survive in altered form. The district reflects the settlement of the area from the mid-1700s and the later spread of Federal and Greek Revival styles through rural carpentry. The Anson Pratt House, built about 1812, is the best-known building, with an upright-and-flanker form, Palladian window, urns and fluted pilasters. The Sylvester Van Valkenburgh House shows a stylized Federal frieze. The 1838 church has a Greek Revival entrance and a bell tower. Three buildings were documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey.","period_of_significance":"C.1754-1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Largely residential; the hamlet still has single dwellings, a church, a post office and a cemetery in use.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:47.951549-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/09001268.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317041","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Concord_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7006677"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/new-concord-historic-district-09001268/"}
