Its window and door lintels with raised keystones and brick-like wood moulds are unusual for an isolated rural farmhouse.

It is believed to have been built for members of the prominent Veeder family, and a similar \"sister\" house stands to the east. The clapboard building has a cut stone foundation, a one-and-one-half-story ell on the south side, and a front porch added around 1900. Greek Revival influence shows in the recessed front door with sidelights, transom and Doric pilasters, and in the cornice returns. The window and door lintels, with raised keystones and brick-like wood moulds, are described as unusual and particularly significant for an isolated rural house. The detail reflects the family's prosperity. The house is one of only two early nineteenth-century houses along the turnpike on the outer edges of town, and it has survived among modern tract development. It remains a residence in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: Unknown; Builder: Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; condition rated good; front porch added about 1900; the barn on the property is modern and 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 02:50:42.415883-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001087.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75311992","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veeder_Farmhouse_No._1","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7918053"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/veeder-farmhouse-1-82001087/"}
