The Jacob Hoornbeck Stone House is located at the junction of Boice Mill and Drum Farm roads in Kerhonkson, New York, United States, a hamlet of the Town of Rochester in Ulster County. It was erected in the early 19th century using the Georgian architectural style, incorporating an earlier house as its rear wing. It reflects a later generation of stone houses built by the descendants of Dutch settlers in the town, features like the full stone gable fields on either end. In 1999 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of a multiple property submission of stone houses in Rochester.〔 ==Building== The house is located at the northwest corner of the junction of the two roads. It is on a lot that straddles Boice Mill Road to Mill Brook south of the property, where the remains of a mill once on the site can be seen at the base of a steep waterfall. To the east, across Drum Farm Road, are barns built when the house was the center of a much larger dairy farm. The surrounding neighborhood is a rural area of fields and woodlots.〔 The building itself is a two-and-a-half-story five-bay stone structure topped with a gabled roof shingled in asphalt with two interior brick chimneys at either end. A one-and-a-half-story rear wing, the original house on the site, projects to the north at the east corner. It has a gabled roof shingled in asphalt with a modern porch over its eastern entrance. At the northwest corner a hip roofed porch also connects the two sections.〔 At the center of the south (front) facade of the main block is the recessed main entrance, a paneled door set between paneled pilasters with capitals that divide the sidelights. They support an entablature with a full-width similarly divided transom. There are two small two-over-two sash windows on either side. All other windows are 12-over-12 with louvered wooden shutters.〔 The paneled front door opens into a modified central hall divided into front and rear sections separated by an arched entryway. The hallway divides two rooms of equal size on either side. This arrangement is replicated on the second floor. The rear wing has a kitchen on the ground level and a loft upstairs. Throughout the building, all finishes are original.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacob Hoornbeck Stone House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
