The farmhouse was built by J.S. Vanderpool.","why_significant":"The complex is an intact, well-preserved example of Guilderland's nineteenth-century farming community, built by one of the town's earliest Dutch families. The farmhouse has simple classical details and a largely unaltered interior, and the large Dutch barn is one of few that survive intact in Albany County. The complex has survived amid modern suburban development.","narrative":"Atop Settles Hill in Guilderland, this farm complex combines an 1855 farmhouse with a pair of barns across the road. The house was built by J.S. Vanderpool, whose family was among the town's earliest Dutch settlers. It has a modest bracketed cornice, a recessed classical center entrance with side lights and a transom, and a one and one-half story ell with a porch and eyebrow windows. The interior is largely unaltered, and a rear addition was built to house a large extended family. The larger barn, dated to about 1800, is a Dutch barn with a low sloping roof, traditional H-framing and a long central threshing floor flanked by wide aisles. It is one of the few such barns in Albany County to survive intact. A small shed links it to a smaller English barn to the north. Together the buildings show Guilderland's agricultural past and remain in place amid nearby suburban development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; farmhouse builder J.S.
