It is also tied to four generations of the DuBois family, early settlers of the area. Colonial Revival renovations of the 1930s add further architectural interest.","narrative":"Built in 1774 by brothers Huybartus and Cornelius DuBois, this fieldstone house at 347 West Main Street in Catskill, Greene County, is a rare survivor of the area's settlement-era architecture. It has a five-bay, symmetrical front, a steeply pitched gable roof and a center-hall, single-pile plan. A date stone on the north wall reads \"HDB CDB 1774.\" The house combines the Hudson Valley's vernacular stone building tradition with Georgian-inspired elements. It is also linked to four generations of the DuBois family, among the earliest landholders in the community. Later, the Washburn Brick Company owned it, and in 1935 the local school district bought it. The district renovated it with Colonial Revival details, including a denticulated cornice, six-over-six windows, new mantels and doors, and removal of the front porch. It was used for home economics classes and then as administrative offices. The house retains notable integrity and remains a local landmark of early Catskill.","period_of_significance":"1774, ca. 1935","architect_builder":"DuBois, Huybartus; DuBois, Cornelius","architectural_style":"Colonial (Georgian-inspired vernacular stone; Colonial Revival renovations)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historically a single dwelling; now listed with an education-related function after conversion by the school district for classroom and administrative use.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.196653-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/95001336.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95001336/1c4dcde4ef-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95001336/1c4dcde4ef-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Lvklock","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CatskillStoneHouse.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Lvklock</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CatskillStoneHouse.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317946","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuBois_Stone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5309985"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/greene-county/dubois-stone-house-95001336/"}
