Houck, this farmhouse on Ostrander Road in Guilderland is a Greek Revival house of two stories with a wood frame and clapboard siding. A one-and-one-half story ell on the north side has eyebrow windows and an enclosed pedimented portico. The main entrance has a recessed doorway with a transom, sidelights and pilasters, and the windows are shuttered six-over-six sash under gable roofs. Corner pilasters and a wide entablature reinforce the Greek Revival character, and the interior is original. The house was once surrounded by farmland, though the land has since reverted to woodland and modern tract development has grown up nearby. Against that setting, the house stands out for its architecture. It remains in its original use as a residence and is in excellent condition. The nominated area is an arbitrary five-acre plot around the house. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, still used as a residence; no threats known; the garage on the property is not historic.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.325718-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001072.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75311990","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houck_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5912751"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/houck-farmhouse-82001072/"}
