It is also a representative, early example of the work of Mead and Taft of Cornwall, major builders of middle-class homes in the Highlands.","narrative":"Glenfields is a two-story clapboard house with a partially exposed granite basement, built around 1870 overlooking the Hudson River on Old Manitou Road in Philipstown. It has a gable roof with a boxed cornice, massive granite chimneys, unusual 6/2 windows with molded lintels, and a center porch with Doric columns under a pediment. A two-story addition with a hipped roof was added on the south side about 1890. Archibald Gracie King bought the land in 1868 and had the house built a few years later as a summer country home. His holdings totaled thousands of acres, and he and his son Frederick Gore King held interests in a granite quarry, copper and chemical companies, a land company and an apple orchard. King's Lane and King's Dock became important to local traffic and commerce. The house is also an early work of Mead and Taft of Cornwall, builders of many middle-class homes in the Highlands.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Mead & Taft, Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y.","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is given as good.
