It was designed by architect Henry S. Moul.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a fine and unusual example of Colonial Revival design that adapts local Dutch forms, including the gambrel roof, reused local stone walls, a double Dutch door and a triple-run staircase. Its over-scaled portico, roof and entrance give it a distinctive character. It survives nearly intact from its construction and is an important example of twentieth-century architecture in Claverack.","narrative":"Built about 1922 for farmer George Felpel, this two-story house on Route 9H in Claverack sits on an 11-acre ridge-top lot. Architect Henry S. Moul designed it in the Colonial Revival style but gave it local character. Its large gambrel roof, a form common in Claverack, dominates the design, and the first-floor walls are rough-dressed stone salvaged from the foundations of Claverack College and Hudson River Institute, which once occupied the site. A two-story portico with paired Doric columns, a Dutch-style door and an oversized broken pediment mark the entrance. Inside, a center hall holds a triple-run staircase with Arts and Crafts-influenced newel posts, and the living room has a Federal-style mantel. A contemporary garage also contributes to the property. The house is considered significant as an unusual, nearly unaltered Colonial Revival dwelling that echoes Dutch building traditions of the area, and for its connection to the former college campus.","period_of_significance":"1922","architect_builder":"Henry S.
