It was built in 1886.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the house is one of the first surviving houses in the Classical Revival style in American domestic architecture, designed by the New York firm McKim, Meade and White. It is linked to Daniel S. Newhall, an executive of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and its siting near Strafford Station.","narrative":"Built in 1886 in Strafford, Chester County, Cramond is a two-story house with a full attic, a hipped roof with paired dormers, and a symmetrical south facade centred on a Composite-order entry portico with Ionic columns and a Doric-columned porch to the west. Its foundation is grey dressed stone, its steps are Chester County marble, and its exterior is narrow beaded horizontal clapboard over half-timbered framing. The New York firm of McKim, Meade and White designed it for Daniel S. Newhall, a Pennsylvania Railroad executive who chose a site overlooking the railroad's Strafford Station. The interior includes a carved staircase, a parlor with Doric and Ionic cornice work, and a dining room with exposed beams. The nomination regards the house as an early domestic example of the Classical Revival style, with a design based on Greek and Roman orders, and as a surviving example after the firm's 1885 H.A.C. Taylor house at Newport was demolished.","period_of_significance":"1886","architect_builder":"McKim, Meade and White (architects)","architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.014692-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/83002222.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002222/fe6ec9282f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002222/fe6ec9282f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cramond_ECC.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cramond_ECC.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998291","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramond_(Strafford,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5181853"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/chester-county/cramond-83002222/"}
