It was designed in 1910 by André Reid, together with the neighboring house at #167. Its park-like setting, plantings and intact interior add to its importance, and Harry J. Ethol, President of the Pioneer Button Company, lived there from 1924.","narrative":"Built around 1910 at 171 Hooker Avenue in Poughkeepsie, this shingled and cobblestone bungalow was designed by local architect André Reid, who also designed the neighboring house at #167. The 1-1/2 story house has a raised basement, stone foundations, a large 28-light window, a glazed porch with stick-style struts, a large dormer with a triple window, and a prominent stone chimney. Inside, boxed beams, original oak woodwork and a fieldstone fireplace survive intact. The grounds add to its character: fir trees give a rustic feel, while plantings made by a local nurseryman in 1916 and a weeping cherry tree create a more formal yard. A driveway winds to a period garage at the rear. Harry J. Ethol, President of the Pioneer Button Company, moved in during 1924. The house and its neighbor are considered among the most sophisticated and significant early twentieth-century residences in the city.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"André Reid of Poughkeepsie (architect)","architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition, on its original site, with no major alterations; in residential use and with an intact interior.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.523777-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001134.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001134/d38ce60c2f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001134/d38ce60c2f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Pksherpa","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ethol_House_171_Hooker_Ave_Poughkeepsie_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Pksherpa</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ethol_House_171_Hooker_Ave_Poughkeepsie_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312460","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethal_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5404407"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/ethol-house-82001134/"}
