It includes two barns and a cider mill from the nineteenth century, plus a non-contributing stable and corncrib.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the farm as an intact example of a nineteenth-century Hudson Valley farm with a vernacular Federal farmhouse and historic outbuildings. The house represents a regional type common in the mid-Hudson Valley, with finely crafted Federal woodwork. The farm is also one of few early farmhouses in the county still joined to its historic tract and still in agricultural use.","narrative":"Windswept Farm is an eighty-acre working farm on Sunset Trail in Clinton, Dutchess County, New York. Its main building is a five-bay, timber frame farmhouse built in 1823 by Amos Lyon for his new bride, on land his family had held since 1782. The house follows a center-hall plan and carries Federal style details, including a trabeated doorway, an elliptical arch on the porch, and carved mantels and door surrounds. Three contributing outbuildings survive: a mid-nineteenth-century dairy barn with a cupola, a smaller heavy-timber barn, and a cider mill. Later changes include a 1958 kitchen, a deck, and a dormer. The farm reflects the diverse agriculture of Dutchess County, with hay, grain, apples and cider, and later dairying. It is notable as an early farmhouse that keeps most of its original farmland and rural setting, which is why it was listed for architecture and agriculture.","period_of_significance":"1823-1899","architect_builder":"Amos Lyons","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"The farm remains in agricultural production and the house is a single-family dwelling.
