It was built about 1735 by Jacob Mandeville and expanded in several stages.","why_significant":"The nomination holds that the house is the oldest surviving residence in the Garrison area and shows five building stages in its first-story plan. Its surviving fabric is mostly Colonial Revival, so its significance rests chiefly on historical associations. These are its use as a Revolutionary War headquarters, including General Israel Putnam's stay in 1777 and a Washington visit, and its role as architect Richard Upjohn's home for over twenty-five years.","narrative":"Mandeville House is a one-and-one-half story clapboard and shingled residence at Garrison Four Corners in Philipstown. Jacob Mandeville built it around 1735 on land leased from the Philipse patent, close to the King's Highway between New York City and Albany. The house grew in five stages: early additions about 1740 to 1770, Gothic-style remodeling by architect Richard Upjohn from 1852 to 1878, and a Colonial Revival restoration in the 1920s. During the Revolution, General Israel Putnam made it his headquarters from May to October 1777, and Washington is recorded as staying there in 1779. Upjohn lived there year round after retiring and died there. The dining room, with its low beamed ceiling, fireplace and fielded panelling, and the hall's Dutch door preserve early features. The first-story walls are unchanged, so the building's evolution can still be read in its plan. It is described as the oldest surviving dwelling in the Garrison area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Builder: Jacob Madeville (Mandeville); later alterations by architect Richard Upjohn","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival exterior with Dutch Colonial features and remnants of Gothic alterations","criteria":[],"status_note":"Private residence in good condition, with no known threats; original site; the interior is not open to the public.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.395264-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001251.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001251/f40f2538e3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001251/f40f2538e3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mandeville_House,_Garrison,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"http://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:Mandeville_House,_Garrison,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314418","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandeville_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q963086"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/putnam-county/mandeville-house-82001251/"}
