It notes the largely intact mid-nineteenth century manor house in its original setting, and the Washington House as a rare, little-altered eighteenth-century stone tenant house. It is also described as one of the last active farms in a developing area.","narrative":"Stony Kill Farm is a farm complex on Route 9D in Fishkill, about four miles north of Beacon. Its main building is a five-bay, two-and-a-half story stuccoed manor house completed in 1843, with a neoclassical form and restrained Gothic Revival details, including pointed-arch gable windows and carved marble mantels in each of its eight principal rooms. Nearby stands the Washington House, an eighteenth-century stone tenant dwelling built in four sections, along with a nineteenth-century board and batten barn complex, early twentieth century residences, and later farm buildings. The land descends from a 1683 purchase by Gulian Verplanck, and the Verplanck family lived at the manor house until 1943, when it was given to New York State on condition that it remain an active farm. The property was valued for its family associations, its intact mid-nineteenth century house, its tenant house, and its surviving farmland in a developing area. It now serves as an agricultural and environmental education center.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival with Gothic Revival elements","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Owned by the state and used as a practice farm and environmental education center; the Washington House is described as deteriorated.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.468349-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/80002601.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002601/83dfffe558-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002601/83dfffe558-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stony_Kill_Farm.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:Stony_Kill_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317483","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stony_Kill_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7619572"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/stony-kill-farm-80002601/"}
