Both are two-and-one-half story houses with double-height columned porticos.","why_significant":"The houses are described as rare, intact survivors of Stapleton's early development. They are examples of a modified Greek Revival style combined with an overhanging spring-eave, a feature more typical of Dutch Colonial building. The result is called an interesting, indigenous variant of Greek Revival. Both were built on lots sold in 1834 from land developed by William J. Staples and Minthorne Tompkins.","narrative":"Two Greek Revival houses at 364 and 390 Van Duzer Street, built around 1835, survive from the early development of Stapleton on Staten Island. Each is a two-and-one-half story clapboard building with a gabled roof and a tetrastyle portico whose columns rise two full stories, Doric at number 364 and Corinthian at number 390. The columns support an entablature just beneath an overhanging spring-eave, a feature associated with Dutch Colonial building that appeared in New Netherland in the mid-seventeenth century. Combining it with a classical portico produced a local variant of the Greek Revival. The lots came from land bought in 1833 by Minthorne Tompkins and William J. Staples, who subdivided and sold it. Robert M. Hazard, a former sailmaker and ferry captain, had number 364 built, while Richard G. Smith, married to a Tompkins sister, built number 390. Both remain in residential use and are valued as rare intact survivors of the village's early years.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Modified Greek Revival with Dutch Colonial spring-eave","criteria":[],"status_note":"Both houses are occupied private residences in good condition; 390 Van Duzer has had rear and front kitchen-wing additions and replaced doors.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.334617-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001262.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001262/23a77249f2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001262/23a77249f2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Robert Haber","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:364_Van_Duzer_Street_Staten_Island,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Haber</a>, <a href=\"https://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:364_Van_Duzer_Street_Staten_Island,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321359","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/364_and_390_Van_Duzer_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706147"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/staten-island/houses-at-364-and-390-van-duzer-street-82001262/"}
