Veeder served as an agent for Stephen Van Rensselaer and took an active part in settling the town. His farm covered roughly 148 acres and remained in the Veeder family for the entire nineteenth century. The house sits on a small knoll, set back from the road on a large open lot, and keeps much of its early nineteenth-century setting. Its Federal Style features include a hipped roof crowned with a balustrade, symmetrically placed chimneys, a central front porch with lattice decoration, and a two-story ell on the north side. Much of the original interior detail survives. A barn stands northeast of the house. The building is recorded as being in excellent condition and on its original site, and it is now used as both a residence and an office. It was listed as one of the finest Federal period homes in Guilderland.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition on its original site; used as a residence and office, with the interior accessible by appointment.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.678502-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001079.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75311976","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Hill_(Guilderland,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7367770"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/rose-hill-82001079/"}
