Morgan, which has since been demolished. The complex is a distinctive example of Carpenter Gothic architecture used for housing and support structures in the Highland Falls area. The house, main barn and well keep much of their period detailing, and the altered carriage house and stable still contribute to the original barn plan.","narrative":"Along Route 218 in Highland Falls stands a group of Carpenter Gothic buildings dating from about 1860. The group includes a one-and-one-half story board and batten house with decorative vergeboards, a triangular and diamond-shaped panel above a paired second-story window, two three-sided bays and a wraparound veranda. Nearby are a main barn, a square well with lattice walls and a pyramidal roof, a carriage house and a stable. The buildings were once part of Cragston, the estate of industrialist J.P. Morgan, which has since been demolished. Their value lies in the surviving architecture and the link to that estate. The house, main barn and well keep much of their original detailing. The carriage house and stable were converted to residences in the 1970s and altered, yet they still help show the original layout of the barn complex. The group is a representative local example of Carpenter Gothic housing and support structures.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Carpenter Gothic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good to fair.
