It has a stone farmhouse dated ca. 1762, a Dutch-type barn complex, a well and wellhouse, a privy and two sheds.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the stone farmhouse is an important example of the regional vernacular stone building tradition of eighteenth-century Rhinebeck, with features linking it to German (Palatine) building practices. Its late eighteenth/early nineteenth century Dutch-type barn is a rare surviving example of a scarce barn type. The intact farm buildings and rural setting show how eighteenth-century agricultural complexes were laid out.","narrative":"Strawberry Hill is a 21.3-acre farmstead on Ackert Hook Road in the quiet southeast corner of Rhinebeck. Its centerpiece is a gable-roofed stone farmhouse dated to about 1762, built into a hillside so that two full stories show on the south front. Wings added around 1900 flank the main block, and the gable ends are clapboarded, a trait seen on other eighteenth-century stone houses in the town. The two-room plan with central chimney and hillside siting point toward German building habits, and the house was probably built by or for a Palatine settler rather than by Henry Beekman, as local tradition claims. Nearby stand an L-shaped barn complex with a late eighteenth/early nineteenth century Dutch-type barn, a well and wellhouse, a privy and two sheds. The house is valued as a vernacular stone dwelling, and the barn as a rare surviving example of its type. Together they show how farms of the period were arranged.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Regional vernacular stone building tradition (German/Palatine-type stone farmhouse); Dutch-type barn","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence, as originally; condition fair; no threats known.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.862223-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/87001071.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001071/9a31d21050-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001071/9a31d21050-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Rwhitefield","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Strawberryhillrhinebeck.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Rwhitefield</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:Strawberryhillrhinebeck.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312610","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Hill_(Rhinebeck,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7622435"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/strawberry-hill-87001071/"}
