The form calls it the greatest single site associated with the birth of Abstract Expressionism, because Pollock developed his pouring technique and mature works there. Krasner also emerged as a major artist there, and the intact property now serves scholars of the New York School.","narrative":"This 1.5-acre property on Fireplace Road in the Springs, East Hampton, centers on an 1879 shingled farmhouse and a wooden barn. The house is L-shaped with a few restrained Queen Anne touches, including a full-width front porch, a bay window and roof finials. The barn was once used to store fishing gear. In 1945 the artists Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner bought the unimproved property. Pollock first painted in an upstairs bedroom, where he made his first canvas on the floor, and moved his studio to the barn in 1946. Krasner worked upstairs until 1957 and then took over the barn. The couple added heat and plumbing in 1949 and opened up the downstairs rooms, but otherwise kept the house modest. The property is valued as the place where Pollock developed his pouring technique and where Krasner became a significant artist. Because it passed intact from Krasner's estate, its furnishings and library remain in place, and it now serves as a museum and research center.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian; L-shaped farmhouse with Queen Anne elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Operated as a museum and research center, with the house and barn preserved much as Krasner left them and only security and structural repairs made.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.963355-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94001193_NHL.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001193/d049cc024a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001193/d049cc024a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Dmadeo","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pollock-barn.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Dmadeo</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:Pollock-barn.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316075","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollock-Krasner_House_and_Study_Center","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3907611"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/suffolk-county/pollock-jackson-house-and-studio-94001193/"}
