The house and outbuildings were built about 1840, with modest alterations in the 1860s.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farmhouse is an intact, representative example of vernacular Greek Revival design in the town of Bethlehem, in the front-gable/side-ell form. It is one of fewer than a dozen intact houses of its type and style in the town. It also keeps its full set of historic outbuildings and a largely unaltered setting.","narrative":"This farmhouse at 36 Bridge Street in Slingerlands, a hamlet in the town of Bethlehem near Albany, was built about 1840 and is still a single-family home. It follows the common front-gable, side-ell form, with a three-bay gabled facade, clapboard walls, a stone foundation and details typical of vernacular Greek Revival work. Italianate-style doors and a rear addition date from the 1860s, when the Kilmer family owned it. The 2.2-acre property keeps a large barn, a smaller barn and a brick smokehouse, all from about 1840, along with a later non-contributing shed. A 1996 survey of Bethlehem found fewer than two dozen surviving farmhouses of this type, and only five early Greek Revival examples with enough integrity to be considered. This one stands out for keeping its historic outbuildings and a largely unaltered setting, and for the few changes made to its interior and exterior since the 1860s.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1840","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century / Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family dwelling; the house and outbuildings have had few alterations since the 1860s.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.74092-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/97000068.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000068/661921d863-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000068/661921d863-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"TrudiJ","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Albert_Slingerland_House_36_Bridge_St_Slingerlands_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">TrudiJ</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:Albert_Slingerland_House_36_Bridge_St_Slingerlands_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316336","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Slingerland_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4711225"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/albany-county/slingerlands-albert-house-97000068/"}
