It shows the features of this regional type, including native fieldstone walls, linear plan and later wings and dormers. A 1920s renovation added Craftsman-inspired elements, and the surviving early twentieth century barn adds to its significance.","narrative":"Set far back from NYS Route 209 in the Kyserike hamlet of Rochester, Ulster County, this fieldstone house dates from 1784 and is attributed to Judge Richard W. Davis, whose initials are said to appear on a stone above the front door. The linear, one-and-one-half story dwelling has five bays, a central entry and a frame rear extension, with a half-story frame addition above the stonework. Inside, a center-hall, single-pile plan survives with some original moldings and exposed beams. It is one of seventy-two stone or brick houses identified in the town that predate 1944, and it represents the most common form of stone housing in the county from the late seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. A 1920s renovation introduced Craftsman-inspired elements. A small gambrel-roofed frame barn and a silo foundation, both from about 1920, also survive. The barn's modest size suggests a subsistence farm, and few historic barns remain in the town. The property was listed for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"1784-ca.1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial/Dutch","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent preservation; the barn is in fair condition.
