It blends English-influenced symmetry with local heavy timber framing in contrast to the Dutch masonry tradition. It is also an important reminder of early development in Beacon (Fishkill) and a local landmark.","narrative":"Built about 1800 on Tompkins Avenue in Beacon, once part of the village of Fishkill, this one and one-half story house has a heavy timber frame, rubble stone foundation, five-bay symmetrical west facade, center hall plan and gable end fireplaces. Additions were made in the 1880s and about 1940, and a carriage barn and shed from about 1880 stand to the east. The land came from the estate of Peter Bogardus, who ran storehouses and a ferry on the Hudson, and his widow Elizabeth received the house and four acres in 1800. It later passed to John Peter DeWindt, whose family occupied it, as \"the cottage,\" until 1920. It was listed for its architecture: the house shows how New England settlers' Georgian ideas of balance and symmetry merged with local building practice in the Hudson Valley, producing a timber-framed vernacular type used from about 1750 to the 1830s. It remains a local landmark of early Beacon.","period_of_significance":"ca.1800 - ca. 1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single-family dwelling; later additions from the 1880s and about 1940 are noted, but the house is said to retain sufficient integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.562704-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/93000280.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000280/fbe66ca376-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000280/fbe66ca376-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bogardus-DeWindt_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"http://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:Bogardus-DeWindt_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317307","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogardus-DeWindt_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706191"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/bogardus-dewindt-house-93000280/"}
