Parker was among the first downstate residents to choose Guilderland for a country home. The two-and-one-half-story, clapboard house shows Italianate styling, including a bracketed cornice, a gabled roof with a lantern or cupola, four symmetrically placed chimneys, and a recessed entrance with transom and side lights. A one-story hipped-roof porch has unusually carved columns, and the interior keeps much of its original detail. Surveyors described it as an early example of Italianate residential design. Open farmland surrounds it, and outbuildings include barns and a shed. It remains in excellent condition on its original site and still serves as a farmhouse. It was listed for its architectural importance, since it survives intact amid later suburban development. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, on its original site, with no known threats; still used as a farmhouse.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.136875-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001077.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001077/f79fcd072c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001077/f79fcd072c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Mdr192","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Parker_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Mdr192</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Parker_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312004","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Parker_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5081500"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/parker-charles-house-82001077/"}
