Why it's listed
Set on about 1.2 acres on Winfield Lane in Harrison, New York, this 2½-story center-hall house began as a small three-bay, 1½-story dwelling in the mid- to late 18th century. Hand-hewn framing beams, early floorboards and a rubble stone foundation survive in the cellar and confirm that origin. Around the time the railroad reached Harrison in 1848, the house was enlarged to a full five-bay plan with Italianate features, including floor-length casement windows, a wrap-around porch and a center door with sidelights. In the early 20th century it was remodeled in the Colonial Revival manner, with stucco walls, Doric columns at the front stoop, shed dormers and a lancet gable window. The result is a symmetrical, Georgian-looking composition that carries evidence of three building periods. The property is listed as a local example of Colonial Revival design built around a genuine Colonial-era core. A modern garage and a swimming pool are also on the lot.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house exemplifies early 20th century Colonial Revival style while preserving real 18th century fabric in its core. It also shows the layers of Italianate-era and Colonial Revival alterations. Its growth is tied to Harrison's development after the railroad arrived in 1848.

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.
