It includes the 1814 Josiah Hasbrouck Mansion, its outbuildings, the 1738 Terwilliger stone house and an eighteen acre bird sanctuary.","why_significant":"The estate shows how an early 19th century mansion estate grew around a modest 18th century stone dwelling that had earlier served as an inn and helped shape local settlement. Both houses are described as well preserved examples of different styles, eras and ways of life. The mansion reflects Federal design, patterned on Virginia mansions Hasbrouck admired.","narrative":"Locust Lawn Estate, southeast of Gardiner on Route 32, combines two houses from different centuries. The older is a one-and-one-half story stone house built in 1738 by Evert Terwilliger on land from the Freer Patent. It served as an inn, and the Terwilligers also ran two mills nearby on the Plattekill. Josiah Hasbrouck bought the land in 1794. A Revolutionary War captain and later a congressman, he built a three-story Federal style mansion by 1814, modeled on Virginia houses he had seen in Washington. Cromwell of Newburgh designed it, with marbelized plaster walls, and Hendrick Schoonmaker built it. The stone house became a tenant house, and a slaughterhouse, smokehouse, carriage house and woodshed were added in the 19th century. The property stayed in the Hasbrouck family line until 1958, when it was given to the Huguenot Historical Society. It is now open to the public and includes an eighteen acre bird sanctuary.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Cromwell of Newburgh (designer); Hendrick Schoonmaker (builder of the Hasbrouck House); Evert Terwilliger (built the 1738 stone house)","architectural_style":"Federal (Hasbrouck House); 18th century stone rubble house (Terwilliger House)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Owned by the Huguenot Historical Society since 1958 and open to the public; condition listed as fair.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.921292-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/74001313.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001313/4f1d71fbd3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001313/4f1d71fbd3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Locust_Lawn.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"http://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:Locust_Lawn.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322667","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locust_Lawn_Estate","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6666138"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/locust-lawn-estate-74001313/"}
