The builder was Fitch Lanpher.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as an architectural example of an early mansion on the mid-Hudson Valley frontier. The house and its land are also tied to economic, religious and educational activity in the early Greenville community. Prevost was a prominent man who did business with well-known figures of his day.","narrative":"Prevost Manor House, also called Hush-Hush Farm, is a clapboard-covered frame dwelling near Greenville in Greene County, New York. The east wing is thought to be the original 1793 structure, and the two-and-one-half-story, five-bay central block is believed to date from 1794. Rear wings were added later. The central block has a 12-by-37-foot hall on each floor, original fireplaces and stairway, single shutters with original hardware, and a main entrance with transom and side lights. The house was built by Fitch Lanpher under a contract with Major Augustine Prevost for 525 pounds. It stood near the center of a 7,000-acre land patent granted to Prevost in 1767. Prevost built tenant houses, mills and roads, sold land to settlers, and gave land for a church and school. He also ran a free school near his home. The nomination values the house as an early mid-Hudson Valley mansion from which a frontier community grew.","period_of_significance":"1793-1794","architect_builder":"Fitch Lanpher (builder), under contract with Major Augustine Prevost","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in good condition, altered, on its original site, and occupied as a private residence; shown by appointment.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.091463-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/72000842.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000842/6b4e8acd4c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000842/6b4e8acd4c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"RobertDrake2015","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prevost_Manor_House_5-07-2016.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">RobertDrake2015</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prevost_Manor_House_5-07-2016.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318035","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevost_Manor_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7242437"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/greene-county/prevost-manor-house-72000842/"}
