It sits on a 1.5-acre parcel with a barn/garage, privy, wellhouse and stone wall.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an outstanding, intact example of Greek Revival temple-front architecture in the town of Montgomery. Its monumental two-story portico, elaborate entrance, hilltop siting, marble mantels, plaster cornices and silver-plated hardware convey a level of wealth and refinement unsurpassed locally. The outbuildings and stone wall illustrate how a nineteenth-century merchant's residence developed over time.","narrative":"Indian Hill, the Daniel Waring House, is a Greek Revival dwelling at 730 River Road in Montgomery, Orange County, New York. Built around 1844 for Daniel Waring, a local millwright and mill owner, it occupies a hilltop above the Wallkill River and the sites of two former mills. The two-story, three-bay frame house has a front portico with four large columns, a wide frieze, and an entrance with transom and sidelights. Inside, it keeps molded plaster cornices, a mahogany stair rail, and marble mantels, which were unusual in an area where wooden mantels were typically painted to imitate marble. Silver-plated door hardware adds to its refinement. A barn/garage, privy, wellhouse and stone wall remain on the 1.5-acre property. The house was listed for its architecture, as a rare surviving example of mid-nineteenth-century residential design in the town and an important local landmark. It remains a single-family home.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1844 - ca. 1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently in use as a single dwelling; the house was restored in the late 1960s by later owners.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.16663-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/95001285.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95001285/525741fd5e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95001285/525741fd5e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Original uploader was Daniel Case at en.wikipedia","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Indian_Hill,_Montgomery,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Original uploader was Daniel Case at en.wikipedia</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:Indian_Hill,_Montgomery,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320787","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Waring_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5219028"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/waring-daniel-house-95001285/"}
