Phillips.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of the most representative and elaborate dwellings of its period in Poughkeepsie. Its oak-paneled front hall, with screens, a winding staircase and inglenook bench, reflects the signature work of local architect William J. Beardsley. It also gains significance from its intact condition and its siting on a slight hill.","narrative":"Built in 1891 at 18 Barclay Street in Poughkeepsie, this Queen Anne-style house was constructed for Walter C. Phillips, a local hardware merchant. It is a clapboard wood-frame dwelling with a slate roof, asymmetrical rooflines, scalloped shingles and spool decoration. A porch with turned posts and balusters runs across the front, and the carved oak front door has a bevelled glass window and stained glass sidelights. Inside, glazed-tile fireplace surrounds and an elaborate oak-paneled front hall survive. The hall includes oak screens, a winding staircase and an inglenook bench, all features associated with Poughkeepsie architect William J. Beardsley, who used a drawing of such a hall in his city directory advertisements around 1900. The house is recognized as one of the most representative and elaborate homes of its era in the city. Its largely unaltered condition and its position on a slight hill add to its importance. It stands in the same block as the South Hamilton Street Row.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, with no alterations noted; still used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.459576-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001157.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001157/c33dfcd87d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001157/c33dfcd87d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:18_Barclay_Street,_Poughkeepsie_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</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:18_Barclay_Street,_Poughkeepsie_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312544","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_House_(Poughkeepsie,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7185909"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/phillips-house-82001157/"}
