It includes a 1913 stone cider mill, mill-site remains, a worker's house and the c1801 Federal-style Bloom house.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is one of Dutchess County's oldest and most intact mill sites, with documented use from the 1740s. It traces a shift from colonial saw and grist mills to a mid-19th-century cotton mill and village, then a 1913 cider mill. The Bloom house is cited as a distinguished example of Federal architecture, and the site holds industrial archeology potential.","narrative":"Bloomvale is a former mill site on the East Branch of Wappingers Creek in central Dutchess County, New York, with records reaching back to a 1749 deed. Colonial landholder Henry Filkins' family operated saw and grist mills here. Isaac Bloom later acquired the site and built a Federal-style mansion around 1801, a five-bay frame house with a Palladian window and restrained interior detail. In the 1840s a large stone cotton mill and workers' housing replaced the old grist mill. After the cotton mill burned in 1873, a smaller stone cider mill was built in 1913 from the ruins, with a concrete-reinforced dam and a turbine. The district holds the cider mill, a surviving worker's house, the Bloom house, the water system, old road and bridge abutments, and archeological remains of mill-village buildings. It was listed for the unusually intact survival of an industrial landscape that changed with regional economies, along with its architecture.","period_of_significance":"c1740-c1920","architect_builder":"John Rowland (house builder); Edward C.

The farm buildings are gone, and the cotton mill survives only as foundations and low walls.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.722639-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/91001874.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91001874/9a6be0e592-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91001874/9a6be0e592-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:East_Branch_Wappingers_Creek_at_Bloomvale,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:East_Branch_Wappingers_Creek_at_Bloomvale,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317305","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomvale_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4928393"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/bloomvale-historic-district-91001874/"}
