Its rugged, ample stone and brick construction is architecturally unusual in eastern Dutchess County, which was settled mostly by people of English extraction who favored frame building. Its size and decorative masonry suggest the commitment and relative prosperity of the Winegar family.","narrative":"Near the New York-Connecticut line in Amenia, this two-and-a-half-story house of thick fieldstone and brick sits on a high basement under a steeply pitched gable roof. It was built around 1761, probably by Hendrik Winegar, eldest son of Garrett Winegar, whose family came from the Palatine settlement at East Camp (Germantown) in Columbia County. The front elevation has five bays and masonry trim, with brick arches over the windows, and the south gable is clapboarded. Inside are very wide plank floors, early 19th-century trim and mantels, and raised panelling around some window embrasures. Electricity and modern heating arrived about 1925, and other changes were minor. The house is considered one of the last remaining reminders of early German settlement in Amenia and is unusual in an area where frame construction has long been the norm. It was used as a farmhouse until about five years before the nomination and then stood vacant.","period_of_significance":"c1761","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a farmhouse until about five years before the nomination; described as vacant, standing in its rural agricultural setting.
