The core is believed to date to the later eighteenth century and was enlarged and remodeled in 1851.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farmhouse is an intact early dwelling that was extensively remodeled in the Greek Revival era, showing how pioneer building traditions merged with mid-nineteenth-century styles. Its outbuildings and agrarian setting reflect the town's development as a prosperous farming community. Few buildings in the town retain similar Greek Revival features.","narrative":"This farmstead on Wallkill Road in Montgomery, New York, centers on a farmhouse whose south half is believed to date to the eighteenth century, possibly as a tenant house on the Bodine farm. In 1851 L. Nathaniel Dubois bought the property and doubled the house in size, giving it Greek Revival features: a sidelit front doorway with pilasters, eyebrow windows set in a wide frieze, corner pilasters, and front and side porches. Inside, a basement keeping room retains a cooking hearth and beehive bake oven. Later owners added a rear sun porch, an oak staircase, a fireplace, and a north addition in the 1910s and 1920s. The farm includes a springhouse, corn crib, wagonhouse with attached shop, small barn, and the buried ruins of a barn complex lost to fire in 1984. The property is valued as a surviving example of an early house adapted to mid-nineteenth-century taste within a working farm setting.","period_of_significance":"ca.1790 - ca.1940","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the owner has restored the basement cooking hearth and replaced the standing seam roof with an identical one.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.552471-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/97000939.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000939/deca4f5092-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000939/deca4f5092-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dubois-Phelps_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</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:Dubois-Phelps_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320630","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubois-Phelps_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5311056"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/dubois-phelps-house-97000939/"}
