Its scissor-truss (shaarspanten) roof frame is one of very few surviving in New York. Later changes around 1800 and c. 1860 show how the house evolved with changing styles and practical needs.","narrative":"Set well back from Joslen Boulevard on the outskirts of Hudson, this one-and-one-half story stone house dates to about 1700. It began as a two-room dwelling of roughly dressed limestone with large exposed hand-hewn ceiling beams and jambless fireplaces. Around 1800, English-style fireplaces, including a cooking hearth and bake oven, were added. About 1860 a brick-ended third room was added on the north, giving the house its present linear plan, along with Gothic-inspired trim that has since been removed. Its most distinctive feature is the steeply pitched roof frame of hand-hewn pine, built as a scissor truss, or shaarspanten, following Dutch timber-framing tradition. Only a few such frames are known in New York. The house was long attributed to the Van Hoesen family, but evidence points instead to the Van Salsbergen family, who held neighboring land. It was recognized as a rare example of Dutch and German stone building in Columbia County and still serves as a private residence on a 25-acre parcel.","period_of_significance":"c. 1700-c. 1860","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial: Dutch Colonial; Early Republic: Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a single dwelling, with a non-historic caretaker's house, garage, shed and stone wall on the 25-acre site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.42151-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000915.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317113","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Salsbergen_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7913644"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/van-salsbergen-house-10000915/"}
