Thompson was a notable figure in the history of St. Philip's Church, which adds local significance. The altered but architecturally intact carriage house contributes to the house's significance.","narrative":"Set above Philipsebrook Road near Garrison, this half-timbered house and its carriage house were built between 1883 and 1890 for the Reverend Walter Thompson, who became minister of St. Philip's Church in the Highlands in 1883. The two-story house sits on a stone foundation and has a recessed double-door entrance beneath a veranda with a porte cochere, leaded casement windows in varied geometric patterns, and a hipped roof carried on heavy timber brackets. The carriage house, south of the main building, has two wings joined by a hyphen, a cupola with a sailing-ship weathervane, and a bracketed balcony. It was later converted to a residence. Thompson retired in 1898, served in several American churches in Europe and New York, and died in Garrison in 1939. The property was listed as the most significant Tudor Revival residence in the Hudson Highlands, and for its link to Thompson and St. Philip's Church.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Both buildings are now residences.
