Walter Livingston built it in 1774.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that Teviotdale is tied to the Livingstons of Livingston Manor and is a high-style example of Georgian-Federal architecture in a Mid-Hudson Valley country estate. It was built in the Georgian style and updated with fashionable Federal alterations around 1800. It is described as one of the most prominent and intact eighteenth-century estates between New York City and Albany.","narrative":"Teviotdale is a large country house on Wire Road near Linlithgo, in southern Columbia County, New York. Walter Livingston, a son of the Livingston Manor family, built it in 1774 on 498 acres he bought the year before. The two-and-a-half story house has a raised basement, a square mass and a low hipped roof. Its walls are stone and brick, covered with smooth stucco around 1800 to follow the Federal fashion. Federal-era additions include the central Palladian window and French doors. Inside, the foyer takes up about a quarter of the first floor, and the dining room has a long arched screen with engaged columns. Later restoration replaced deteriorated dormers and the entrance and added porches. The house is notable for its link to the Livingston family, who shaped the region for generations, and for its formal late eighteenth-century character, which it keeps to a degree not found elsewhere in the mid-Hudson Valley.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799","architect_builder":"Walter Livingston, probably architect; George Sperling, builder","architectural_style":"Georgian-Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, in good condition and used as a private residence.
