It now covers 39 acres and includes a Federal-style house built about 1822, barns, a granary, a milk house, a chicken house, a tile silo and a 1938 marker.","why_significant":"The nomination finds the farm significant under Criterion C for architecture, as a well-preserved group of farm buildings spanning about 1822 to 1940. It features a Federal-style timber-frame house with notable interior finishes, an early English barn, and a clay tile silo that is one of only two known in Newark Valley. A 1938 state marker recognizes it as a century farm owned by the Wade family.","narrative":"Farming has gone on at this property on Route 38 in Newark Valley since the 1820s. Once about 85 acres on both sides of the highway, it now covers 39 acres and holds six buildings, a silo and a historical marker, all dating before 1939. The centerpiece is a two-story Federal-style house from about 1822, built with hand-hewn chestnut posts and beams joined by hickory pegs. Inside, the dining room has wainscoting hand-grained to imitate narrow slats, and a central chimney was replaced by a hall around 1885. Nearby are a three-bay English barn, a mid-nineteenth-century granary now used as a crafts shop, a secondary barn built of recycled materials, a milk house and a chicken house. The clay tile silo is one of only two known in Newark Valley and is reported to be the first built in Tioga County. A 1938 state marker honors the Wade family's century of ownership. Together the buildings show how a local farm changed over more than a century.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1822-1940","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still a working property with the house in residential use and the granary converted to a country crafts shop; the barns remain in use, with horses kept in the English barn basement.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.531181-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/97001491.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97001491/c43fe45e52-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97001491/c43fe45e52-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Delphinium1","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wade_Farm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Delphinium1</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:Wade_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315080","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7959045"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/tioga-county/wade-farm-97001491/"}
