It stands on 3.1 acres with a frame carriage barn.","why_significant":"The house is nominated as an example of Federal architecture that was renovated in the Victorian and Colonial Revival eras, with interior detailing from all three styles still intact. It is also tied to Arthur Patchett, a partner in the Montgomery Worsted Mill, who bought the former brick inn in the 1880s and began its first major remodelling. The house is described as being in pristine condition.","narrative":"Built in 1812 on the Cochecton Turnpike near the Montgomery mill, this brick house at 232 Ward Street is two stories and five bays wide, with a center entrance and a rear wing. Arthur Patchett and his wife bought the former inn in the 1880s and carried out the first major remodelling of the Federal-style building; a second followed about fifty years later. Those changes added Victorian and Colonial Revival features, including dormer windows, a Doric-columned portico, and a double door with an elliptical transom and stained glass sidelights. Inside, the entrance hall combines Victorian etched-glass doors and staircase, Federal door frames, and a Federal keystone arch with Colonial Revival pilasters. Mantels represent all three styles. The 3.1-acre property includes a frame carriage barn. Patchett was a partner in the Montgomery Worsted Mill, and his granddaughter Emma owned the house until her death. Industrial development now surrounds it along Route 17K.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal, with Victorian and Colonial Revival renovations","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as being in pristine condition after long ownership by Emma Patchett, granddaughter of Arthur Patchett; the heavily industrialized surroundings make it undesirable as a dwelling, and a commercial reuse is hoped for.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.506032-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/80004394.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80004394/3ed2cc35b5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80004394/3ed2cc35b5-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case at English Wikipedia","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patchett_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case at English Wikipedia</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:Patchett_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314135","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patchett_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7144359"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/patchett-house-80004394/"}
