It shows local limestone use, simple rectangular massing, a gable roof perpendicular to the street and a five-bay facade with central entry, along with high-quality coursed stonework. The outbuildings and active farmland also recall its agricultural history.","narrative":"Set on the south side of Rosiere Road in rural Cape Vincent, this limestone farmhouse was built in the 1850s by Remy Dezengremel Jr. His father, Remy Prosper, came from France in 1835 and bought land from Vincent LeRay and Jedediah Mills, then transferred the property to his son in 1850. The house has three gabled sections: a one-and-one-half-story main block, a side wing and a one-story ell, all of square-cut, regularly coursed limestone. The five-bay main block has a recessed central entrance with transom and sidelights, six-over-six windows and flat arched stone lintels. Original floors, baseboards, doors and window surrounds survive inside the main block. A frame barn, a silo and a shed from the nineteenth century stand behind the house on a farm of about 227 acres. It is one of ten limestone farmhouses nominated in the town, and it remains an active working farm that stayed in the family for over sixty years.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: Unknown; Builder: Remy Dezengremel, Jr.","architectural_style":"Vernacular limestone farmhouse","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition rated good; remains an active working farm in residential use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:46.22861-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002459.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313172","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remy_Dezengremel_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7312258"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/jefferson-county/dezengremel-remy-house-85002459/"}
