It includes a Greek Revival farmhouse, a family burial plot, a milk house, a garage, a fire pond and a relocated barn.","why_significant":"The farm is presented as a rare, intact example of the small diversified farmsteads once typical of southwestern Schoharie County. It keeps its original 103 acres and many buildings and landscape features, and it has been farmed continuously since 1853. Its vernacular Greek Revival farmhouse is described as an unusual regional variation.","narrative":"Two miles north of Charlotteville, in the western foothills of the Catskills, a 103-acre farm has kept its original boundaries since Jedediah Bute bought the land in 1853. The centerpiece is a frame Greek Revival farmhouse of about 1853-1855, with a pedimented two-story center block, flanking single-story wings, a recessed porch and a continuous entablature. Other contributing features include a nineteenth-century family burial plot, a fieldstone retaining wall, and an early twentieth-century milk house, garage and fire pond. Later owners included the Warner family, among them Civil War veteran and author George H. Warner, and then the Truax family, who ran the farm as a dairy through 1966. A mid-nineteenth-century barn moved here in 1982 replaced one lost to fire and is counted as non-contributing. Open pastures, hayfields and an apple orchard still survive. The farm is valued as an unusually intact small farmstead of the region, with continuous use since 1853.","period_of_significance":"1853-1932","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (vernacular)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still a working farm; the form reports hay, corn and pasture in production and describes the integrity as excellent. The original barn burned in 1981 and was replaced in 1982 by a moved mid-nineteenth-century barn, counted as non-contributing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.896513-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85001611.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001611/563c4daead-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001611/563c4daead-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Desiree Josephson","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_of_house_from_the_road_at_Blue-Warner-Truax_Farm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Desiree Josephson</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_of_house_from_the_road_at_Blue-Warner-Truax_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321729","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bute%E2%80%93Warner%E2%80%93Truax_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5002474"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/schoharie-county/bute-warner-truax-farm-85001611/"}
