It shows how the local vernacular evolved as Palisades changed from a farming district into a suburban retreat. Its two later outbuildings add to the completeness of the property, and in the early twentieth century the house was a gathering place for artists and musicians.","narrative":"Little House is a modest frame dwelling in the hamlet of Palisades, Rockland County, New York, dating from about 1820. It sits on a wooded 1.65 acre lot atop the Palisades ridge, with two small frame sheds behind it. The house follows a one-and-one-half story, three-bay, side-passage plan, with a porch across the front, an end-bay entrance with a molded architrave and traceried transom, and a modillioned cornice. Later additions include a rear ell with a greenhouse wing and side wings. The property is significant as an intact example of the Anglo-American house type that was far more common in Palisades than Dutch stone houses, and it shows how a small farming district became a fashionable suburban retreat. The two outbuildings, from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are preserved with little loss of integrity. In the early twentieth century the house also served as a gathering place for artists and musicians, including Burl Ives, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and Carl Sandburg.","period_of_significance":"early nineteenth century to early twentieth century","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as good; still in residential use, with 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 02:50:45.842195-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/90001009.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001009/4442709555-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001009/4442709555-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LITTLE_HOUSE,_PALISADES,_ROCKLAND_COUNTY_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LITTLE_HOUSE,_PALISADES,_ROCKLAND_COUNTY_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314512","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_House_(Palisades,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6650356"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/rockland-county/little-house-90001009/"}
