It centers on a limestone farmhouse built in 1769 and several wooden outbuildings.","why_significant":"The farm was developed by the second generation of the Bull family, early settlers in Orange County known for building stone houses. Its pre-revolutionary stone house, 19th-century outbuildings and walled fields retain their setting in a largely agricultural area. The house has distinctive interior paneling and a cupboard similar to one from the Colden House, and it was the birthplace of Civil War Captain William A. Jackson.","narrative":"Hillhold is a former farm northwest of Campbell Hall, Orange County, New York, extending from both sides of Route 416 to the Wallkill River. Its main building is a two-story, L-shaped house of hewn native limestone. Thomas Bull built the main block in 1769, and a kitchen wing was added in 1815. Around 1850 the cornices were replaced and a three-bay porch with Greek Revival details was added. Wooden outbuildings include a barn, carriage house, granary, wood shed, smokehouse and privy. The farm reflects the second generation of the Bull family, whose patriarch William Bull was a mason known for stone houses and received a royal land grant in 1724. Inside, two paneled rooms and a cupboard resemble work in the Colden House. Civil War Captain William A. Jackson was born here. The property has passed to the county parks system, which plans to restore it as a working farm illustrating local agricultural settlement.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Probably designed and built by Thomas Bull, although this is undocumented","architectural_style":"Stone farmhouse with Greek Revival elements (porch and cornices, about 1850)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Recently given to the Orange County Parks system; to be restored as a working farm.
