Two farm outbuildings, a dairy and a springhouse, stand northwest of the house.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of only two surviving rural farmhouses in Duanesburg that embody the picturesque ideals of the late Victorian era. Its cross gables, ornate porch, round-arched double doorway and decorative lintels set it apart as a fashionable house for a working farm. The two largely intact nineteenth-century outbuildings add to its significance.","narrative":"Built around 1870 on a 9.5-acre lot beside the Schoharie Turnpike near Quaker Street, this two-story, five-bay frame farmhouse reflects late Victorian taste in rural Duanesburg. It has a truncated hipped roof with prominent cross gables, miter-arched lintels over the windows and entrance, a round-arched double doorway, and a front porch with turned posts and scroll-sawn brackets. A projecting bay window fills the eastern two bays of the front. William Chadwick, who came to Duanesburg from Rensselaerville after marrying Martha Moore, bought part of lot 362 from David M. Davenport and soon built the house. Its symmetrical center-hall plan follows long-standing local tradition, but the eclectic detailing made it unusually fashionable for a working farm, perhaps because of its nearness to Quaker Street and Delanson. It is one of only two such farmhouses surviving in the town. A concrete block and frame dairy and a small springhouse also contribute to the property.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Built by William Chadwick; architect unknown","architectural_style":"Picturesque, late Victorian eclectic","criteria":[],"status_note":"In use as a private residence; condition listed as good; no threats known.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.367627-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003175.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314599","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chadwick_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5066521"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schenectady-county/chadwick-farmhouse-84003175/"}
