Few Picturesque houses survive intact in a rural setting. Its barn, carriage house, corn crib and well/wellhouse illustrate a working farmstead in the mid-Hudson region.","narrative":"Set on seven acres along Mill Road in rural Rhinebeck, this one and one-half story cottage was built around 1850 and is attributed to J.W. Moore, who appears as owner on nineteenth-century maps and atlases. The frame house has a cruciform plan, board-and-batten siding, a cross-gable roof with broad eaves, and paired and tripartite rounded-arch windows. Its design mixes Gothic Revival elements with Italianate influence, which makes it unusual among board-and-batten cottages in the area. Few Picturesque houses of this period survive intact in a rural setting rather than in the villages of Rhinebeck and Rhinecliff. Several farm structures remain on the property: a barn, a carriage house with quatrefoil windows, a stone well with wellhouse, and a corn crib with shed and greenhouse. Together they show how a working farmstead developed and was used over time. The setting remains open and agrarian, bounded on the east by the Landsman Kill. The house is still a private residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; builder attributed to J.W.
