It includes a Federal-style house, two ca. 1880 barns and several outbuildings on the original 118-acre parcel.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance under Criterion C as an intact, representative farmstead in Newark Valley. Its pair of ca. 1880 barns, with ornamental cupolas and center gables with decorative trusswork, are described as unique in the town and unusually elaborate for the region. The remaining buildings retain a fairly high degree of period integrity.","narrative":"This farmstead on Settle Road in Newark Valley, Tioga County, has been worked since about 1840. The nominated portion covers the original 118 acres and holds a Federal-style house, a dairy barn, a horse barn that began as a carriage house, and a chicken house, pig house, granary, shed and silo. The buildings sit together in the Crocker Creek valley, facing the road, with hay and pasture land around them. Its main distinction is a pair of barns built about 1880. Both have board-and-batten siding, center gables with decorative trusswork, and square cupolas with slatted ventilation openings, details the nomination calls unique in Newark Valley. The house was altered considerably in the twentieth century but still shows its early massing, twelve-over-twelve sash and open gable returns. The land came through the Settle family, beginning with tanner David Settle in 1827 and passing to his son John, who established the farm. Later owner Oscar Settle expanded it to more than 1,000 acres. The farm was listed for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"Ca.1840-1940","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still operated as a farmstead; the house has been altered, and a modern silo is noncontributing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.118782-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98000161.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98000161/a89b771178-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98000161/a89b771178-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Delphinium1","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Farmhouse_on_John_Settle_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:Farmhouse_on_John_Settle_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315084","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Settle_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6257335"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/tioga-county/settle-john-farm-98000161/"}
