Benjamin Franklin Gates House
The Benjamin Franklin Gates House is an historic home and farm complex located on Lee Road (New York State Route 31A) in Barre, New York, United States. It is centered on a Greek Revival house built in the 1830s using the unusual stacked-plank structural system. The accompanying barn and privy are also included in the listing.
Gates, the original owner, was a pioneer in the settlement of Barre who established the first tannery in the town and later became one of its most prominent early citizens. The property has remained virtually unchanged since his ownership. After new owners restored it, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.〔 It is the second property listed in Barre after the Skinner-Tinkham House in the hamlet of Barre Center, and the second stacked-plank house listed in Orleans County after the Servoss House.
==Buildings and grounds==
The farm is located on the north side of the road, just east of where Mix Road intersects from the south. The house and other structures are located near the front of the property; seven acres () in the rear are currently under cultivation. Trees planted in the last two decades, including 15 disease-resistant American elms, mark the property lines, along with some mature black walnuts and sugar maples.〔
Terrain is mostly level. The surrounding area is rural, with farmland predominating. Some woodlots and cellular phone towers are visible in the distance. Nearby buildings along the road are other farmsteads, most of their buildings also dating to the 19th century.〔 The nearest large settlements are the villages of Albion to the east-northeast and Medina to the west-northwest, both about distant.
