It has a ca. 1876 frame farmhouse, a late nineteenth century carriage barn, a Dutch barn from about 1800 and a shed, on 10.3 acres.","why_significant":"The farmhouse is an intact example of a cubic, hipped-roof, Italianate-inspired house form concentrated in the Wurtemburg area and linked to its German community. The Dutch barn is a rare survivor of an earlier farm on the site and recalls the Palatine settlement of Wurtemburg. Together with the carriage barn, shed and rural setting, the complex illustrates the area's continued agricultural prosperity.","narrative":"This farm complex sits on the southern edge of Wurtemburg, a farming hamlet settled by German Palatine families in the eighteenth century. Its main building is a two-story, five-bay frame farmhouse built about 1876, with clapboard siding, a low hipped roof, bay windows and a front verandah trimmed with scroll-sawn brackets. The interior keeps its center hall, parlors, staircase and woodwork largely unchanged. Across the road stand a Dutch-type barn dating from roughly 1800 and a late nineteenth century shed, while a carriage barn stands near the house. The house is valued as one of a few intact examples in Rhinebeck of a square, Italianate-influenced form that appears to reflect Continental European rather than English tastes, fitting the German character of the community. The Dutch barn, with its massive pegged H-frame, is a scarce survivor of an earlier farmstead. The surrounding open fields and the property's long agricultural use add to its importance as a local landmark.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate-inspired late nineteenth century residential architecture (cubic massing, hipped roof); Dutch-type barn","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is rated good; the farmhouse remains in residential use and the interior survives substantially intact.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.783398-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/87001081.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001081/ffc4b51fd8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001081/ffc4b51fd8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"WindingRoad","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_H_Traver_House_Rhinebeck_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">WindingRoad</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:John_H_Traver_House_Rhinebeck_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312614","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_H._Traver_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706668"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/traver-john-h-farm-87001081/"}
