The farmhouse is described as a distinguished example of mid-nineteenth century Greek Revival domestic architecture. Together with its outbuildings and agricultural landscape, it documents five generations of one of eastern Montgomery County's earliest families of note.","narrative":"Northeast of Amsterdam, along the old road to Ballston Spa, a 100-acre farm preserves the look of a mid-nineteenth century Mohawk Valley farmstead. Samuel and Johanna Jones, who came from Orange County, New Jersey, established it in 1795. Five generations of the family lived there. The farmhouse grew in stages: a small one-storey section that may be the earliest, a one-and-one-half storey tee wing, a two-storey Greek Revival main block of the 1850s with Doric pilasters, a pediment and a detailed entrance, and a later rear addition with graining dated 1878. Outbuildings include a gambrel-roofed cow barn built around 1912 on the foundations of an Erie Canal mule stable, a milk shed, chicken coop, machine shed and privy. Fields, pastures and woodlots survive largely as they were. The property was listed as an intact example of a family farm that rose in the nineteenth century and declined by the mid-twentieth, and for its Greek Revival architecture.","period_of_significance":"1840-1915","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Mid 19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house and three minor outbuildings are on three acres owned separately from the cow barn, milk shed and remaining land.
