It was built in 1910 for a local miller named Hayes.","why_significant":"The house reflects the tastes and ambitions of a progressive small-town miller who was the leading figure of the community. Its placement next to his mill shows an early twentieth-century businessman's integration of work and home life. It has remained virtually unaltered, with well-preserved lavish interior details.","narrative":"Built in 1910 on Fairview Avenue in Altamont, this large square frame house with a stone foundation, slate hip roof and two-story front columns was the home of a local miller. He had moved his earlier, smaller house to the adjacent lot and built a grander residence beside his flour mill, which sat between the house and the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks. From the side porch he could supervise the business. The mill drew farmers into the village and benefited local merchants. The mill burned in the 1960s, leaving only its foundations, but the house is virtually unaltered. Inside are stained glass, parquet floors, original mantles, many original light fixtures, oak columns in the double parlor and a working dumb-waiter. The house has been refurnished for public viewing and is maintained by the Altamont Fair, opening during fair week each August. It was recognized for its architecture and its link to local commerce.","period_of_significance":"20th Century; specific date 1910","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition excellent and unaltered; refurnished for public presentation, maintained by the Altamont Fair and open to the public during fair week in August.
