It is described as a unique late, Gothic-influenced estate in the survey area, showing the persistence of picturesque styles in the Hudson Highlands. It also has ties to the first settlement of Highland Falls and to the Tracy family who built the house.","narrative":"Stonihurst is an estate on Route 218 in Highland Falls, Orange County, New York, where a two-story clapboard house built around 1880 faces east toward the Hudson River. The house sits on a brick foundation and has a projecting central entrance pavilion, a veranda with open Gothic arches, bracketed cornices, hooded second-story windows and louvered shutters. A rustic summer pavilion, a gate house with diamond-paned windows and decorative gable trim, and a board-and-batten barn complete the grounds. The land was once the homestead of Cornelius Swim, the first pioneer occupant of Highland Falls. An 1880 map shows the house owned by Charles Tracy, a New York City lawyer whose daughter married J.P. Morgan. The property was recognized as an excellent example of Carpenter Gothic architecture in the Hudson Valley and as a rare late Gothic-influenced estate in the Hudson Highlands. It retains its original location, design, setting, workmanship and materials, and it remains a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Carpenter Gothic, with classical and later revival characteristics","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a residence; condition listed as good and the site as original.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.324434-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001228.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001228/80b83a376f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001228/80b83a376f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:STONIHURST,_HIGHLAND_FALLS,_ORANGE_COUNTY,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:STONIHURST,_HIGHLAND_FALLS,_ORANGE_COUNTY,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314213","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonihurst","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7619455"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/stonihurst-82001228/"}
