The Dutch barn is a rare survivor, one of three left in the town. Nineteenth-century outbuildings, two family cemeteries and an intact agricultural setting show nearly two centuries of continuous use.","narrative":"Set back from Mill Road in rural Rochester, Ulster County, this 51.3-acre farm property centers on a limestone house built around 1771 by Abraham Middaugh. The dwelling is one and one-half stories, three bays by two, with a steep gable roof, gable-end chimneys, partial timber-framed gables and irregularly placed windows. A frame rear wing was added in the late nineteenth century. Inside are two equal rooms, a large fireplace with an eighteenth-century surround and two late eighteenth-century corner cupboards. Nearby stands a ca.1790 Dutch barn with heavy timber H-frame construction, one of only three known in the town. A horse barn, granary, hoop shop and well house from the later nineteenth century, two family burying grounds, fieldstone walls, ponds and open farmland complete the setting. The property was recognized as an outstanding example of the region's early stone building tradition and of long continuous farm use.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1771 - ca. 1890","architect_builder":"Abraham Middaugh (built the dwelling ca.1771)","architectural_style":"OTHER/vernacular","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling with agricultural outbuildings; the hoop shop has been renovated into a guest house, and the two cemeteries are no longer in use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.199123-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94001514.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322677","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middaugh-Stone_House_and_Dutch_Barn","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6841141"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/middaugh-stone-house-and-dutch-barn-94001514/"}
