The stone house is unusual in Columbia County for using stone rather than brick, and it keeps early features such as casement windows and a Dutch door. The house sites may hold archeological resources of an early Palatine farm enclave.","narrative":"Built in 1752 by Conradt Lasher, the Stone Jug is a small hillside house of mortared fieldstone with a brick west gable and an engaged, tapered brick chimney. It sits near Route 9G and Jug Road in Germantown, Columbia County. A carved lintel over the east door bears the date and the initials \"K.B.L. & J.\" Inside, a large basement room has a seven-foot hearth, and early casement windows with broad moldings and a Dutch door with original hardware survive. A 1950s addition was added on the north side. The 9.67-acre site also holds an 1846 frame farmhouse built by Phillip P. Lasher Jr., a mid-nineteenth-century L-shaped barn, and the sites of two other Lasher stone houses that were demolished between 1845 and 1873. The Lashers descended from Palatines who arrived in 1710 and farmed as tenants on Livingston Manor. The property is the last evidence of that family's settlement of over 130 years, and the use of stone is unusual in a county where brick was more common.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Built by Conradt (Konradt) Lasher; architect/builder listed as unknown","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, private residence; the form marks it as occupied, with restricted access.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.803854-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/78001847.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78001847/fbf9b23914-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78001847/fbf9b23914-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stone_Jug,_Clermont,_NY.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:Stone_Jug,_Clermont,_NY.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"90002219","name":"Hudson River Heritage Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/hudson-river-heritage-historic-district-90002219/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317085","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Jug","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7618973"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/stone-jug-78001847/"}
