It keeps a high degree of architectural integrity and, because of its prominent spot near the central business district, is a well-recognized local landmark. The reviewer notes that the form implies Criterion B for the association with Woodhull, though no case is made.","narrative":"Standing on a hill at the eastern end of Huntington's central business district, this house at 70 Main Street was built around 1870 for Charles Woodhull, a local merchant. It is a two and one-half story, three-bay clapboard dwelling with a low gable roof, a raised brick foundation, deep bracketed eaves, a cupola with round-arched windows, and a shed-roofed porch with paired Doric columns. Tall first-floor windows and heavily molded door and window surrounds add to its Italianate character. Inside, the original floor plan, marble fireplaces, moldings and central staircase survive. A two-story east wing added in 1984 repeats the roofline, cornice and windows of the original house. The house is one of five individually nominated Italianate examples in Huntington's multiple resource area. Although it lacks the formal balance of high-style models, its location and distinctive design make it a well-recognized local landmark. It remains a residence on a one-acre lot with no outbuildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect and builder unknown; built for Charles Woodhull","architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence, in good condition; an east wing was added in 1984.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.955703-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002564.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002564/b978d1401b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002564/b978d1401b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"DanTD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Woodhull_House_(Huntington,_NY).JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">DanTD</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:Charles_Woodhull_House_(Huntington,_NY).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314817","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Woodhull_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5083693"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/woodhull-charles-house-85002564/"}
