It centers on a stone manor house probably built between 1680 and 1697, with a reconstructed mill, granary, dam and wharf.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the carefully studied and restored manor illustrates a working Dutch-English manor at its height, 1730-1740. It was the focal point of large manorial landholdings and of the trading, milling and shipping activities of the prominent Philips family. The form also admits that the restoration was so extensive it should be classed as a reconstruction.","narrative":"Philipsburg Manor, also known as Philips Castle, is a restored manor complex in North Tarrytown, New York. Its stone house was probably built between 1680 and 1697 and was roughly doubled in size by 1749. After the Revolution the Philips family was regarded as traitors, and the farm passed to the Beekman family, who altered the house heavily. Sleepy Hollow Restorations, Inc. took ownership in 1951 and restored the house to its 1730-1740 appearance. The work was so extensive that it is classed as a reconstruction: only the roof, three exterior walls and an interior masonry partition survive from the original building. A mill, granary, dam and wharf were rebuilt, and a Dutch barn was moved from Hurley, New York. The property is listed because it illustrates a working Dutch-English manor at its peak. Tenant farmers, slaves, grain fields, orchards, timber and quarries supported the Philips family's milling, shipping and trading business. The grounds are open to visitors.","period_of_significance":"1600-1799","architect_builder":"Unknown (original building); restoration by Sleepy Hollow Restorations, Inc.","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as very well maintained, occupied, and open to the public for a fee as a museum with guided tours and a visitors' center.
