Its smokehouse and converted hoop shop add significance as rare surviving outbuildings that record upland subsistence farming and the barrel-hoop trade.","narrative":"Set on a 10.6-acre rural parcel along Upper Whitfield Road in Rochester, Ulster County, this stone farmhouse dates to about 1770. It is a rectangular, one-and-one-half story vernacular dwelling on a linear plan, with two adjacent entries on the front that suggest the house was extended after it was first built. Stone chimneys rise at both gable ends, and the roof is standing-seam metal. The property also holds a ca. 1860 timber-frame hoop shop with a large stone hearth, now a studio with an attached modern garage, and a ca. 1850 stone smokehouse later used as a laundry. A ca. 1930 privy does not contribute to the historic character. The house is valued as a regional example of the linear stone dwelling common in the Hudson Valley. Its outbuildings are among few surviving in the town, recording subsistence farming and the barrel-hoop trade that supplied Hudson Valley industries.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1770-1890","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular (OTHER/vernacular)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current use is a single dwelling with secondary structures; the hoop shop has recently been converted into a studio.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.535016-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/95000951.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000951/b23e451f92-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000951/b23e451f92-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Larry Arvidson","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:P1050040_(6)_Zachariah_Barley_Stone_House,_193_Whitfield_Rd.,_Rochester,_Ulster_Cnty,_NY_1.png\" rel=\"noopener\">Larry Arvidson</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:P1050040_(6)_Zachariah_Barley_Stone_House,_193_Whitfield_Rd.,_Rochester,_Ulster_Cnty,_NY_1.png"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315232","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachariah_Barley_Stone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8063883"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/barley-zachariah-stone-house-95000951/"}
