Its elaborate front porch, with pierced post brackets and scroll brackets, shows late Victorian picturesque influence that is rare in isolated rural farmhouses in the town. The largely intact nineteenth-century farm outbuildings add to its significance.","narrative":"Built around 1860, this rectangular two-story frame farmhouse sits on a 6.2-acre lot at the corner of Thousand Acre and Young Roads in southwest Duanesburg. It has four bays, a slightly raised stone foundation, a gable roof, a central chimney, novelty siding, slender corner pilasters and two-over-two windows with louvred shutters. A one-story front porch has a bracketed cornice and ornate pierced wooden post brackets. The house is basically vernacular, but the porch shows the influence of late Victorian picturesque taste, which is unusual for an isolated farmhouse in the town; such features are more often found in villages and hamlets. Only one other rural farmhouse in Duanesburg, the Chadwick Farmhouse, is cited as comparable. Four contributing outbuildings survive: a large T-shaped barn with a louvred cupola, a smaller barn with vertical clapboard siding, and two small sheds. The house remains a private residence, and its architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular farmhouse with late Victorian picturesque embellishment","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as a private residence in good condition, still used as a residence; 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 02:50:43.128929-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003207.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314604","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5560900"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schenectady-county/gilbert-farmhouse-84003207/"}
