The main house may date to the 1790s, with an earlier small wing possibly from the 1730s.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as the home of the first settlers in the Town of Easton, the DeRidder family, and a reminder of the Dutch settlers' influence in the Hudson Valley. The farmhouse and its barns remain in a pastoral setting comparable to that of the time of construction. The family farmed the fertile river flats, took part in church and community life, and operated a broom-making business and a ferry.","narrative":"On the east bank of the Hudson River, opposite Schuylerville, a brick farmhouse and its barns occupy a little over seven acres of fertile river flats. The two-story front section is three bays wide, laid in common bond with white stone lintels and sills, and shows the restrained character of Federal-period architecture. A one-story rear wing in Flemish bond may incorporate the family's first dwelling, and a brick dated 1792 is set into the west wall. Behind the house stand a hewn-timber haybarn of a New England type, a later wagon shed, and a small building said to have served as a broom factory. The property was the home of the DeRidder family, the first settlers of the Town of Easton, who came from Holland. They farmed the flats, served in the Reformed Church, handled property transactions for neighbors, made brooms, and ran a ferry before a toll bridge was built. The form describes it as a reminder of Dutch influence in the Hudson Valley.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific dates 1735, 1742)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition marked good; the form says the property is empty at present and will probably be sold as a private residence.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.335853-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/74001315.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"76001274","name":"Champlain Canal","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/champlain-canal-76001274/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322827","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeRidder_Homestead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5244061"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/washington-county/deridder-homestead-74001315/"}
