The Dutch barn is one of only nine surviving barns of its era in Rochester. The property also reflects the Krom family's move from farming into milling and other industries.","narrative":"Set on a hilltop above the North Peterskill in rural Rochester, this linear stone farmhouse dates to about 1760 and was built in two sections. It rises one and one-half stories under a simple gable roof, with an all-stone west gable end, a five-bay south front, a bracketed porch, and a late nineteenth-century frame ell at the rear. The seven-acre property also holds a ca. 1800 Dutch barn with an early twentieth-century gambrel wing and wooden silo, a smokehouse, and a carriage mounting block. The house is significant as a regional example of the stone dwellings typical of Ulster County and the Hudson Valley. Only three one-story houses in the town share its all-stone gable end. The Dutch barn is one of nine of its era still standing in Rochester, though it is now badly deteriorated. Lucas Krom Jr. ran a grist mill nearby, and the property records how the Krom family moved from farming into other trades.","period_of_significance":"ca.1760-1800, 1890","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"OTHER/vernacular","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The Dutch barn is in poor condition and in danger of being lost; part of its rear roof has fallen in.
