The surviving historic farm setting and its largely intact nineteenth-century outbuildings add to its importance. The stone smokehouse is one of very few masonry structures of its kind in the town.","narrative":"Hawes Homestead is a working farm of 88.2 acres on Herrick Road in a rural, isolated part of Duanesburg, Schenectady County. Its centerpiece is a one and one-half story frame house built in the 1830s, covered in clapboard under a gable roof with prominent cornice returns. A wide frieze is pierced by rectangular eyebrow windows, wide pilasters mark the corners, and the central entrance has a deeply recessed doorway with half-sidelights and a transom. A one-story rear wing extends to the east. Across the road stand two frame barns, a small shed and a masonry smokehouse, and a frame garage sits behind the house. The property was recognized as a representative rural farm complex. Although Greek Revival farmhouses are common in Duanesburg, few are one and one-half stories with eyebrow windows set in a wide frieze. The intact historic farm setting and the stone smokehouse, one of very few masonry examples in the town, add to its value.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a residence; condition listed as good; original site; farm remains in agricultural use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.527754-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003217.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314562","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawes_Homestead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5684723"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schenectady-county/hawes-homestead-84003217/"}
