The central block was built in 1826 in the Federal style and later expanded with wings and remodeled in the Italianate style.","why_significant":"The house was the home of Nathan Wild, a prominent Valatie mill owner who established some of New York's earliest cotton mills and introduced the first power looms used in the state. It is also significant as a restrained Federal village house that was extensively expanded and redecorated in the Victorian era. It keeps a high level of integrity from its third-quarter nineteenth-century appearance.","narrative":"This frame house at 3007 Main Street in Valatie, Columbia County, began in 1826 as a modest two-story Federal style residence built by textile manufacturer Nathan Wild. Over the following decades it gained east, west and north wings, a ballroom wing in the Italianate style added before 1873, and a heavily remodeled interior around 1850. Inside, features include carved walnut doors and fireplaces, a curving staircase, and a pantry hand-painted to imitate oak grain. Wild arrived from England shortly after 1800, helped establish the village's first cotton mills, and in 1828 introduced the first power looms in New York State. His mills drove Valatie's growth, though none survive today. The house was expanded as his family and wealth grew, and it remained in the Wild family until 1978. It is valued both for its link to this industrial pioneer and for its blend of Federal and Victorian design, which has changed little since the 1870s.","period_of_significance":"1826-1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal; Late Victorian/Italianate","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current use is single dwelling; the house retains a high degree of integrity from the third quarter of the nineteenth century.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.908328-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/91000612.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317121","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Wild_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6969418"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/wild-nathan-house-91000612/"}
