The nominated 19.94-acre parcel also holds a c. 1840 barn, a garage, a pond and an icehouse site.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant for its architecture rather than as a working farm. Its three-room plan with a center passage updates the traditional New England center-chimney house for the Federal period, reflecting Spencertown's cultural ties to New England rather than to the Dutch-influenced Hudson Valley. Its lighter frame, restrained sunburst frieze and well-preserved interior illustrate that transition.","narrative":"Built around 1807 for Daniel and Clarissa Baldwin, this two-story farmhouse sits on Dugway Road south of Spencertown, in Columbia County, New York. Daniel Baldwin came from Connecticut, as did many of the area's settlers, and the house reflects that New England heritage. Its plan has two front rooms on either side of a center passage and a kitchen ell at the rear. This reworks the older center-chimney house, with the chimney split into separate stacks. The front facade is symmetrical, with paneled corner pilasters, a marble water table and a frieze of carved sunbursts. The frame combines traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery with lighter timbers, and the interior keeps its fireplaces, wood mantels, pine floors and cherry stair railing. Later changes include a Colonial Revival piazza added around 1880, a c. 1950 kitchen and a porch built in 2000. The farm stopped operating about 1930, so the house is valued mainly for its architecture. It remains a private home with a c. 1840 barn.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic, Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling. The farm ceased operating around 1930 and the land was subdivided in 1991. The house has additions from the 20th century, including a c. 1950 kitchen and a 2000 porch.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.719292-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/12000366.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316952","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_and_Clarissa_Baldwin_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23091397"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/baldwin-daniel-and-clarissa-house-12000366/"}
