It originally served as a gate or guesthouse for the large Upland Lawn estate.","why_significant":"The house is significant under Criterion C as a highly intact vernacular example of Gothic Revival dwelling, representing the property type Victorian Dwellings 1850-1900. It retains original floor plans, mantels, staircase, trim and doors, and its exterior form including roofline, portico and decorative vergeboards. It is also the only surviving part of the former estate that keeps its original setting.","narrative":"Built around 1850 at 16 Duncan Lane in Cornwall-on-Hudson, this one-and-one-half-story, five-bay frame house began as the gate or guesthouse of a large estate called Upland Lawn. It was constructed when Cornwall was popular as a summer resort and country estates were fashionable. Its Gothic Revival character shows in the steeply pitched cross-gabled roof, decorative vergeboards, a round-arched tripartite attic window with a hoodmold, and a center portico with a bell-shaped pent roof. Inside, the center-hall plan with flanking parlors survives, along with period mantels, hardwood floors, four-panel doors with original hardware and a staircase with rounded newel posts. The west side has been altered by a bay window and an added small room. The surrounding estate was later subdivided and filled with modern development, but this lot of under one acre keeps its shade trees and lawns. It was listed as a well-preserved vernacular example of mid-nineteenth-century Gothic Revival design.","period_of_significance":"ca.1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently in use as a single-family dwelling; the west elevation has had recent renovation and a noncontributing shed is on the lot.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.081545-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/96001433.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001433/dee5ea0157-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001433/dee5ea0157-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"NYTAPPER","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Upland_Lawn_Cottage.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">NYTAPPER</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:Upland_Lawn_Cottage.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314149","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upland_Lawn","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7898347"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/upland-lawn-96001433/"}
