The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The house reflects Guilderland's growth as a resort town, when Altamont became a popular summer retreat and large estates were built on and around the Helderberg escarpment. Its design stresses symmetry and repeated architectural elements influenced by classical styles. It remains unaltered and in excellent repair, and stands out against encroaching suburban development.","narrative":"Built in 1887 as a summer residence, this large house sits halfway up the Helderberg escarpment in Guilderland, with a commanding view of Altamont and the land to the east. It combines Shingle and Colonial Revival influences in a massive composite design, with a hipped roof, gables, dormers, paired windows, and a one-story porch of wide rounded arches beneath a balcony with a hipped roof over the center entrance. Repeated arches, bargeboard and cross-hatch exterior boarding give it a stately character, and the symmetrical layout reflects classical influence. Around the turn of the century Altamont became a popular summer retreat, and substantial homes rose on and near the escarpment. This one reflects Guilderland's growth as a resort town. It remains unaltered and in excellent repair, and a stone storage building on the property is counted as a contributing feature. Its architectural significance stands out as suburban development presses toward the town.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Composite style with Shingle and Colonial Revival influences","criteria":[],"status_note":"Inventory form lists the present use as summer residence; the text describes the house as unaltered and in excellent repair, though the condition box is checked as good.
