The house dates from about 1700 and was enlarged in 1801.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding example of the classic Hudson Valley and Ulster County linear stone dwelling, and one of only two area houses with a three-part linear form. The surviving farm complex, including an 1883 bank barn, documents the town's agricultural and dairy history. The farm was active as a dairy until 1971.","narrative":"Set at the corner of Lucas Turnpike and Kyserike Road in Rochester, Ulster County, this farm centers on a linear one-and-one-half-story stone house with origins around 1700. Reputedly built by brothers Symon and Benjamin Van Wagenen, it was doubled in length in 1801 by Wessel Brodhead Van Wagenen and his wife Maria Hardenberg, whose names appear on a date stone over one entry. Few Rochester stone houses have three linear parts; most have two. Behind the house stands a timber-frame bank barn with an 1883 inscription, along with sheds, a storage barn and the sites of a smokehouse and dug well. The farm operated as a dairy until 1971, and the nearby O&W Railroad creamery at Kyserike reflects the dairy boom that followed the railway's 1902 opening. The property was recognized for its architecture, both as a representative Hudson Valley stone dwelling and for its intact farm buildings.","period_of_significance":"ca.1700-ca.1885","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial/Dutch Colonial; Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling with agricultural outbuildings; the farm was an active dairy until 1971.
