The complex was established by the locally prominent Blauvelt family, early Rockland County settlers. Its intact Federal style interior and farm outbuildings recall New City's early agricultural settlement and growth.","narrative":"The Blauvelt Homestead is a farm complex in New City, Rockland County, built up in stages from the late eighteenth century. Its core is a late eighteenth-century brick smokehouse, joined to a small gable-roofed brick house of the same era and to the main brick farmhouse of 1834. The main house has a gambrel roof with flaring eaves and deep overhangs, a form typical of the lower Hudson Valley, and a mid-twentieth-century shed-roofed addition links the sections. Inside, the 1834 house keeps its original floor plan and Federal style mantels, doorways, staircase and trim, making it one of the most stylish early nineteenth-century houses in New City. A hand-hewn timber barn, a mid-nineteenth-century shop, a privy and a woodshed survive nearby, along with old stone walls. The Blauvelt family, early settlers of Rockland County, owned the land from 1741, and the buildings reflect their long ownership and the area's agricultural past.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799, 1800-1899 (specific dates: late eighteenth century, 1834)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal style interior detailing; lower Hudson Valley vernacular house with gambrel roof","criteria":[],"status_note":"Owned by the Historical Society of Rockland County and used as a seasonal museum and cultural center; condition listed as excellent/good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.170011-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85000659.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000659/8ecd4847d6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000659/8ecd4847d6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Alexisrael","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jacob_Blauvelt_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexisrael</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jacob_Blauvelt_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321420","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blauvelt_House_(New_City,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4925550"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/rockland-county/blauvelt-house-85000659/"}
