It sits on a two-acre site with a barn and shed.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be a representative example of late settlement period architecture in Huntington, keeping traditional building practices such as heavy timber framing, a three-bay side-entrance plan and small-pane sash windows. It is especially notable for its virtually unaltered interior, which is rare among the town's nineteenth-century buildings. Two late nineteenth century farm outbuildings also contribute.","narrative":"Built around 1835 for John Bumpstead, this small farmhouse at 473 Woodbury Road in Cold Spring Harbor is a one-and-one-half-story clapboard dwelling with a shed-roofed side wing. It has a three-bay, side-entrance plan, a shed-roofed porch on square columns, six-over-six sash windows and an interior end chimney. The west wing was added in the late nineteenth century and later altered for storage. The property was listed because it shows how traditional building practices from Huntington's 1653 settlement continued into the nineteenth century, including heavy timber framing and small-pane windows. Its interior is almost entirely intact, with original moldings, door and window surrounds, hand-hewn framing and period hardware; only the kitchen fireplace was closed in the early twentieth century. A late nineteenth century barn and shed on the two-acre site reflect its continued use as a farm. The Hewlett family owned it in the late nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John Bumpstead (builder)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as vacant in the inventory form, in excellent condition, on its original site, with no known threats.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.826366-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002499.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314807","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bumpstead_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6223840"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/bumpstead-john-house-85002499/"}
