It features picturesque asymmetry, a central mansard-roofed tower, and elaborate iron and wood ornament. It also reflects Delanson's peak prosperity in the late nineteenth century as a railroad and coal-yard community, and is a rare intact example in an altered neighborhood.","narrative":"Built around 1876 at 57 Main Street in Delanson, this two-story frame house, known as the Grey Barn, is an L-shaped dwelling that shows the picturesque taste of the late Victorian period. Its most striking feature is a two-and-one-half-story central tower with a mansard roof, iron cresting and a polychrome slate surface pierced by small finial-topped dormers. A wide frieze with scroll brackets wraps the original front section, which also has jerkinhead cross gables and projecting two-story bay windows with pierced and applied woodwork. A porch curves around the southeast corner. The house was listed as a distinctive and fully developed example of late nineteenth-century eclectic design in the Duanesburg area. It also reflects the prosperity of Delanson when the village was the town's commercial center, thanks to the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad and its coal yards. Two rear wings from the 1970s replaced a section lost to fire, and a modern garage stands on the lot. Neither is considered historic.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian, eclectic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as good; used as residential/commercial.
