The Tabor-Wing House is located on NY 22 in Dover Plains, New York, United States. It is a frame house built in 1810 by a prominent family in the area, relatively intact today. It has an unusual amount of decoration for a Federal-style building. Because of that, and its importance in local history, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Between 1979 and 2003 it was also the home of the Dover Plains Library.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.townofdover.us/Tabor_Wing.cfm )〕 After the library moved out, the Dover Historical Society donated the building to the Town of Dover, which began a restoration that finished in 2006. Today it is used for some municipal government offices and as a local history museum.〔 ==Building== The house sits on a half-acre triangular lot at the junction of NY 22 and North Nellie Hill Road, which becomes Cemetery Road south of the house. It has a two-story, five-bay main block with a smaller wing, both supported by a full stone basement. The main block is sided in clapboard, while the wing uses flush boards. The gabled asphalt-shingled roofs have chimneys at all three ends〔 and a very gentle pitch. The western (front) facade is heavily ornamented. A small porch with pedimented roof shelters a centrally-located main entrance topped by a leaded glass transom and flanked by sidelights and fluted pilasters rising to a dentilled entablature with modillioned cornice. Above the entrance is a tripartite Palladian window. The other windows' trim echoes the main entrance, as do the paired rounded-arch windows in the attic on the north and south profiles. The smaller kitchen wing has no decoration. Its roof covers a porch on the south.〔 Inside, the entrance hallway divides two large parlors with much original finishing, including carved moldings and mantels, original wall and ceiling plaster and flooring. The original fireplace and bake oven are still in the kitchen wing.〔 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「Tabor-Wing House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
