The buildings were moved to the site in 1919.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance under Criterion C in architecture as a highly intact, cohesive group of 19th-century buildings. The main house is a regional example of late-Federal/early-Greek Revival design with Victorian-era changes made before the move. The relocation also reflects the area's shift from industry and agriculture to recreation and tourism. It qualifies despite being moved because its orientation to the road and its setting remain largely the same.","narrative":"This homestead on Lakeshore Drive in Bolton, New York, consists of a c. 1830 farmhouse, an ice house, a carpenter shop and two barns. The house was built by Elijah Reynolds as a 2½-story, five-by-two-bay frame dwelling with clapboard siding, a boxed cornice with returns and a slate roof. Victorian-era changes include a wrap-around porch and two-over-two windows. Originally the buildings stood across the road on a 90-acre lakeside farm. After that land was sold in 1916-17, the house and barns were moved in 1919 to their present lot, joined by the ice house and carpenter shop from the Gates Bros. & Co. general store parcel. The property reflects the Reynolds and Gates families, early Bolton settlers, and the area's shift toward tourism along Lake George. It was listed for its architectural integrity as a cohesive 19th-century farmstead. The east barn, rebuilt in 2002, is the only noncontributing building.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1830 - 1940s","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal (late-Federal/early-Greek Revival)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling, with family ownership continuing; the east barn was rebuilt in 2002 after the original collapsed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.237911-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000229.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322776","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Homestead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5527107"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/warren-county/gates-homestead-10000229/"}
