The L-shaped, gable-roofed house shows Stick style character, including exposed studs and sills, an exterior chimney, vergeboards and intricate fan brackets. Carved exposed framing and a small ocular window mark the gable ends, and the one-story front porch has cut-out brackets and a carved base. Some original interior woodwork and detailing survives. The surrounding land is no longer farmed, but the house and the large barn to the east still read as the original farm complex. Its intact details distinguish it from the modern suburban development spreading through the area, and the property stands as a representative example of the agricultural community that characterized Guilderland in the nineteenth century. It is now used as a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; condition rated fair; no threats known; 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 02:50:43.448654-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001084.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312029","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7490308"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/sharp-farmhouse-82001084/"}
