House at 322 Albany Avenue
Why it's listed
Set on a large urban lot on the east side of Albany Avenue in Kingston, this stone house grew in three stages. Its north half dates to the early nineteenth century, and no evidence of the original layout survives. In the 1840s a Greek Revival renovation left moldings, mantels, shouldered architraves and a stair with newel and balusters. In the 1930s the house was extended by three bays and given a Colonial Revival porch with paired Ionic columns, a rear kitchen wing and refined stonework on the facade and south end. The result is a symmetrical two-story, seven-bay dwelling with a center-hall plan. The nomination calls it an outstanding local example of Colonial Revival residential architecture, noting that no record shows Myron Teller's involvement, though the detailing reflects his influence. A pool, work shed and converted carriage house apartment are noncontributing. The property is a single-family home.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is an outstanding local example of Colonial Revival residential architecture in the Albany Avenue area, based on its 1930s renovation. The building also keeps Greek Revival interior features from an 1840s remodeling, and its quality of work is said to reflect the influence of architect Myron Teller's Colonial-style work.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
