The barn is significant for its eighteenth-century Dutch H-frame construction and its late nineteenth-century Picturesque alterations, made when the property became part of the William B. Dinsmore estate.","narrative":"On a hillside above Old Albany Post Road in Staatsburg, this property pairs a fieldstone house built around 1785 with a Dutch barn. The house is a rectangular, whitewashed structure under a gable roof with four brick end chimneys. It is set into the slope, so the front shows two full stories behind a two-tiered porch. Inside, the main floor keeps its center hall, original fireplaces with Federal mantels, floorboards and moldings. Local tradition holds that the lower level once served as an inn for travellers on the Post Road. The barn dates from the late eighteenth century and was expanded in the 1880s, when quatrefoil windows and other Picturesque details were added after the farm joined William B. Dinsmore's estate. The property was listed because the house is an unusually intact example of its Hudson Valley type and the barn records two separate periods of the site's history.","period_of_significance":"1700-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular late eighteenth century Hudson Valley masonry dwelling; Dutch barn with Picturesque alterations","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; the form says the house was unoccupied and deteriorating by the mid-twentieth century but has since been sympathetically restored and maintained.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.200209-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84002373.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002373/a6eb58a45f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002373/a6eb58a45f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Hendricks_House,_Staatsburg,_NY.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:John_Hendricks_House,_Staatsburg,_NY.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"90002219","name":"Hudson River Heritage Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/hudson-river-heritage-historic-district-90002219/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317362","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hendricks_House_and_Dutch_Barn","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6238649"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/hendricks-john-house-and-dutch-barn-84002373/"}
