The nominated parcel covers 29 acres and includes one non-contributing outbuilding.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a well-preserved mid-nineteenth century vernacular farmhouse of the rural North Country. It reflects the gabled-ell house type rooted in the Greek Revival, reworked here with a formal gable-front, center entrance and a plan that shelters the common room. Its glazed ell porch is the earliest known example in Lyme.","narrative":"Built around 1860 on Point Peninsula in the town of Lyme, this clapboard farmhouse sits on a limestone foundation and combines a gable-ended front block with a perpendicular wing and a small rear wing. The north facade is formally arranged with a center entrance flanked by single windows, and a glazed porch on the wing is the earliest known example of that feature in Lyme. Frederick Getman, a Herkimer County native who arrived about 1839, leased the land and bought the farm in 1860 after the railroad opened markets for wheat and small grains. He replaced an earlier, probably log, house with this larger dwelling. The design turns the older gabled-ell form back toward a formal front while keeping the common room sheltered inside. It was listed as a locally significant example of mid-nineteenth century vernacular architecture. A relocated former cheese factory nearby is considered non-contributing. The house is vacant but well-maintained.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular gabled-ell farmhouse with modest Greek Revival elements","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as vacant but well-maintained; condition marked good.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.67319-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/90001322.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313154","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getman_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706287"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/jefferson-county/getman-farmhouse-90001322/"}
