It retains a high degree of architectural integrity, including original sash, doors, floors and stairs. It is also linked to Cornwall's agricultural development and its popularity as a summer resort.","narrative":"Built around 1890 on Pleasant Hill Road in Mountainville, this two and one-half story frame farmhouse in the town of Cornwall combines clapboard siding, a gable roof with simple brackets, and a small hip-roofed entrance porch with classical columns. Inside, a center hall divides each floor, and original features survive, including a paneled Dutch door, nine-over-nine windows, oak floors, the main staircase and hand-hewn attic timbers. The house sits on about two acres, the only part of a larger farm that still keeps its historic character. It was recognized as a representative Victorian farmhouse that also served as a boarding house during Cornwall's era as a summer resort. Large rooms, cross ventilation, wide lawns and views of the mountains and Moodna Creek drew summer guests, while the kitchen and service rooms supported the farm family. A 1996 garage addition was designed to match the original building.","period_of_significance":"ca.1890","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; a three-car garage and breezeway were added in 1996 in a style designed to conform to the historic house.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.93231-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98001118.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001118/900947e966-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001118/900947e966-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wilford_Wood_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:Wilford_Wood_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314205","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilford_Wood_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8001721"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/wood-wilford-house-98001118/"}
