It has three stories over a raised basement and a three-bay facade facing Noxon Street. Details include linked chimneys, brownstone steps, lintels and sills, and a projecting cornice with three eyebrow windows framed by molded laurel wreaths. The original house was small, and a second house of matching quality was added at the back soon afterward. The east side has two porches, one Greek Revival and one Eastlake. Inside, black marble fireplaces and woodwork carved with acanthus leaves survive intact. An 1834 map shows the block divided into building lots from the Noxon estate. Attorney Virgil D. Bonesteel is the first known resident, listed at the address from 1843 to 1850. In the first half of the 20th century the house belonged to Thomas Barrett, a local artist who founded the Dutchess County Art Association, which now uses it as a gallery and classrooms.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition; in use as an art gallery and classrooms.
