It was recommended as a landmark within the survey theme of Dutch and Swedish exploration and settlement. Individual houses have links to events of 1777 and 1782, and the Hardenbergh House is the birthplace of Sojourner Truth.","narrative":"Hurley is a village in Ulster County, New York, between the Hudson River and the Catskills, where a group of 18th-century stone houses still reflects its Dutch origins. Settled as Nieuw Dorp, or New Village, it has kept much of its early character. Ten stone dwellings line Main Street, which is U.S. Route 209, and more survive nearby, with a few showing English rather than Dutch traits. Many were built between 1720 and 1783, including the Houghtaling, Van Deusen, DuMond and Elmendorf houses. The Reformed Church of 1853 and the Old Hurley Cemetery, with a stone dated 1741, anchor the district. Traditions tie the Van Deusen House to the New York Council of Safety in 1777 and the Houghtaling House to General George Clinton and a reception for George Washington in 1782. The Hardenbergh House, dating from about 1750 and heavily restored in the mid-20th century, is the birthplace of Sojourner Truth. The district was recognized for preserving Dutch heritage.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Dutch stone houses (Dutch Colonial vernacular), with Georgian and Greek Revival elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Many of the stone houses are privately owned and occupied; some have been restored or altered, and some later frame houses are non-contributing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.590063-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/66000577_NHL.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/66000577/95f1a6967f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/66000577/95f1a6967f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Main_Street,_Hurley,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Main_Street,_Hurley,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316101","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurley_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3143406"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/hurley-historic-district-66000577/"}
