Architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The farmhouse is a representative vernacular farmhouse of the 1830s transitional period, combining late Federal and early Greek Revival features. Its late nineteenth-century Victorian entrance porch is a rare surviving example of picturesque ornamentation on a plain rural farmhouse in the town. The complex keeps a high degree of integrity, with intact nineteenth-century outbuildings and a largely intact historic farm setting despite modern development along the highway.","narrative":"Set on 96 acres along the busy Western Turnpike (Route 20) in Duanesburg, this farm complex includes a farmhouse built around 1836 and two large frame barns with gable roofs and clapboard siding. The house is a two-story, five-bay, center-hall dwelling with a gable roof, cornice returns and brick interior end chimneys. Its details mix late Federal elements, such as the sidelights and transom around the recessed doorway, with Greek Revival touches, including a wide frieze and broad pilasters. A late nineteenth-century entrance porch with pierced posts and scroll-sawn brackets adds Victorian detail that is unusual on farmhouses in the town, where such ornament generally appears in hamlets and villages. Rear extensions include a one and one-half story wing and a garage/barn. The property was listed for its representative transitional-period architecture, its high degree of integrity, and its intact collection of nineteenth-century outbuildings within a substantially unchanged farm setting, a rarity amid later roadside development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular farmhouse combining late Federal and early Greek Revival features","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a residence and farm; condition rated fair, with a new roof, front porch and some new windows noted as alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:42.181943-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/84003281.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314580","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_R._Wing_Farm_Complex","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8017314"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schenectady-county/wing-william-r-farm-complex-84003281/"}
