It was built by Alexander Delos (Boss) Jones.","why_significant":"It is a representative example of the fully developed Greek Revival style in Duanesburg, slightly more sophisticated than similar three-bay farmhouses in the town. It also represents the work of Boss Jones, described as the town's most prolific and skilled mid-nineteenth century master builder. The intact nineteenth and early twentieth century outbuildings and the surviving historic farm setting add to its significance.","narrative":"This farmhouse sits on a 111.5-acre farm at the end of an isolated, dead-end road in southeastern Duanesburg. Built around 1850, it is a two-story, three-bay frame house with clapboard siding, a wide frieze, prominent corner pilasters and a side entrance framed by broad pilasters, a full entablature, sidelights and a transom. A low-pitched hipped roof shows early Italianate influence. A one-and-one-half story wing and a rear wing, both with eyebrow windows in the frieze, extend from the main block. Four contributing frame outbuildings remain: a three-stall garage, a machine shed, a tripartite barn complex and a small shed. Alexander Delos \"Boss\" Jones, the town's most prolific mid-nineteenth century master builder, constructed the house for his father-in-law, Robert Liddle. It is valued as a mature local interpretation of Greek Revival design, and for the intact farm setting, with the entire acreage included to reflect its agricultural use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Alexander Delos (Boss) Jones","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Residential use, as originally; condition listed as excellent; 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 02:50:41.37655-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003265.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314570","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Liddle_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7346892"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schenectady-county/liddle-robert-farmhouse-84003265/"}
