The main block dates to the Federal period (c. 1805-1830); the stone wing is earlier.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be a significant example of both eighteenth and early nineteenth century residential architecture in Ulster County. Growth from a one-room stone settlement-period house to a stylish Federal house with decorative brick facades reflects the region's shift from subsistence to prosperity. Both building stages retain exceptional integrity and show regional building and craft traditions before and after the Revolution.","narrative":"Overlooking the Wallkill River floodplain near Libertyville, this Ulster County farmhouse grew in two stages. The older part is a one-and-one-half-story stone kitchen wing built in the eighteenth-century local masonry tradition, with a nine-foot cooking fireplace and original woodwork and framing. During the Federal period, a two-story main block was added, with Flemish bond brick on the south and west facades and stone on the other walls. Inside, four paneled mantels, chair rails, an arched alcove opening and a plaster cornice survive. The land came to Hendrikus DuBois in 1729 from his father, and his son Methusalem probably built the newer section. Two date stones, 1774 and 1775, are set in unusual positions, which raises questions about construction dates. The house was listed because it shows the change from a simple stone settlement house to a stylish Federal home as local farmers prospered, and because so much original fabric remains from both periods.","period_of_significance":"1700-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Federal (brick and stone main block added to an eighteenth-century Ulster County stone house)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; listed in excellent condition and described as unaltered, on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.54861-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82003410.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003410/def2074548-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003410/def2074548-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hendrikus_DuBois_House.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:Hendrikus_DuBois_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322606","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrikus_DuBois_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706343"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/duboris-hendrikus-house-82003410/"}
