Haswell. It is a wood-frame clapboard house that is still used as a residence.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it the most intact and distinctive surviving example of a third-quarter nineteenth-century farmhouse in the Colonie multiple resource area. It represents the picturesque \"Victorian\" farmhouse built by prosperous farmers using scroll-sawn ornament made affordable by new technology and transport. It stands as a rare survivor in a heavily suburbanized setting.","narrative":"Built in 1880 at 67 Haswell Road in Colonie, this two-story Italianate farmhouse was constructed for Isaac M. Haswell, a successful farmer who owned about 160 acres. The Haswell family had lived nearby in a smaller, more modest structure since the eighteenth century. The clapboard house has a gable roof with a central cross-gable, ornate brackets set in a scroll-sawn paneled frieze, and a full-width one-story porch with finials and carved rope decoration. A projecting second-story bay, glass-paneled double doors and tall first-floor windows add to its picturesque character, and the interior retains plaster ornamentation and carved woodwork. Its traditional symmetrical form combined with fashionable detail reflects the taste of increasingly prosperous farmers after the Civil War. Although its outbuildings are gone and the original farmland has become suburban house lots, it is judged the best surviving example of a post-Civil War picturesque farmhouse in the surrounding study area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect and builder unknown","architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"In good or excellent condition and used as a residence; the form notes interior modernization and a garage entrance added around 1969, and the loss of outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.04624-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/85002707.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312008","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_M._Haswell_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6076719"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/haswell-isaac-m-house-85002707/"}
