It includes a ca. 1730 one-and-one-half story stone house, a ca. 1800 Dutch barn with additions, and a ca. 1870 shed.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be an outstanding regional example of mid-eighteenth-century linear stone dwelling architecture typical of the Hudson Valley and Ulster County. The Dutch barn is one of only nine barns of its era still standing in Rochester, and its nineteenth-century additions show how agrarian life changed. The property is also acknowledged as the Krom homestead, tied to a family important in early settlement of the town.","narrative":"Set back from Airport Road in Rochester, Ulster County, this 100-acre farm property holds a stone house built around 1730, a Dutch barn from about 1800 with later additions, and a shed from about 1870. A modern house trailer is the only non-contributing building. The house is a vernacular one-and-one-half story stone dwelling on a linear plan with a steep gable roof; it has been covered in stucco since 1966 and fitted with replacement windows. The barn began as a Dutch H-frame structure with four original bents, and nineteenth-century additions now largely hide the original frame, which is best seen from the hay mow. The property was recognized for architecture. The house represents the linear stone dwelling that dominated Ulster County building for generations. The barn is one of only nine barns of its era left in the town, and its additions record changing farm life. The site is also known as the Krom homestead.","period_of_significance":"ca.1730, 1800-1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"OTHER/vernacular","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently in use as a single dwelling and secondary structures; the barn ground floor has been renovated for horse stalls.
