It is also associated with Frederick Crounse 2nd, a notable community figure who supported the American cause in the Revolutionary War. The early barn adds to the character of the farmhouse.","narrative":"This farmhouse on the Altamont-Voorheesville Road in Guilderland grew in three stages. The oldest part is a small stone Dutch house at the rear, built around 1760. A wing followed around 1780, and the main house was added around 1802. The stairs, mantelpieces and woodwork of the main house keep much of their original detail. Frederick Crounse lived here, and records suggest his son, Frederick 2nd, built the second addition and was probably responsible for the 1802 section. Frederick 2nd was strongly patriotic during the Revolutionary War and contributed generously to the American cause. The house is valued as one of the earliest structures in the town, for its Federal period additions, and for its link to a notable community figure. It sits back from the road and keeps its 18th-century setting, with an early barn nearby. Because most of the original farm is now woodland, the nominated area is an arbitrary eight acres around the house. The building has long served as a residence and remains one.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Dutch stone house with Federal period additions","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence, as originally; condition listed as fair; no threats known.
