It argues that this type of architecture rarely survives with integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship.","narrative":"This two-story clapboard house at 249 Main Street in Nelsonville, New York, dates from the late 19th century; the inventory gives c. 1880, while tax records suggest c. 1870. It first appears on the 1912 Sanborn map. The house has a brick foundation, intersecting gable roofs, a central chimney, a panelled frieze board and decorative vergeboards. Pointed-arch two-pane windows sit under the north, east and west gables, and other windows are two-over-two with molded lintels. An oriel window projects on the west wall and a two-story bay on the east. A flat-roofed porch with four piers and corner brackets spans the north front, and a rear frame wing extends south. The house was recognized as a distinctive, intact example of late 19th century residential architecture in the village, blending Carpenter Gothic and Italianate details. Such buildings rarely survive with their original location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. It sits on a third of an acre beside the First Baptist Church of Cold Spring.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Carpenter Gothic and Italianate detailing (late 19th century residential architecture)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in good condition, on its original site, with no known threats; used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.840633-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82005382.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82005382/f94f7d3355-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82005382/f94f7d3355-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_249_Main_Street,_Nelsonville,_NY,_2013.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</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:House_at_249_Main_Street,_Nelsonville,_NY,_2013.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314375","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_249_Main_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706429"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/putnam-county/house-at-249-main-street-82005382/"}
