Its virtually unaltered interior is described as rare among the town's nineteenth-century resources. Two late nineteenth century farm outbuildings also contribute.","narrative":"Built around 1835 for John Bumpstead, this small farmhouse at 473 Woodbury Road in Cold Spring Harbor sits on a two-acre site that has kept its farm character. The house is a one and one-half story clapboard dwelling with a three-bay, side-entrance plan, a shed-roofed entrance porch on square columns, six-over-six sash windows and an interior end chimney. A one-story west wing was added in the late nineteenth century and later altered for storage. Inside, the moldings, door and window surrounds, hand-hewn timber framing and period hardware survive, with the kitchen fireplace closed in the early twentieth century as the only notable change. A gable-roofed barn and a clapboard shed, both from the late nineteenth century, also contribute. The property is valued as a representative example of Huntington's conservative building traditions, which persisted well after the town's 1653 settlement, and for its rare, largely intact interior. Little else is known of its history beyond later ownership by the Hewlett family.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John Bumpstead (listed as builder)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent; original site; no known threats; present use given as vacant on the inventory form.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:47.91707-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002499.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314807","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bumpstead_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6223840"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/bumpstead-john-house-boundary-decrease-100006306/"}
