Application file # 34; National Register Guilderland Multiple
Resource Area # 12.
The house is located half-way up the side of the Helderberg
escarpment and has a commanding view of Altamont and the lands east.
Features: Excellent Colonial Revival style three-story home;
gambrel roof with gables and dormers; massive paneled chimneys;
dentiled cornice; Palladian window; one-story porch surrounding with
porte-cochère. The interior retains much of the original classical
detail.
Date of initial construction: ca. 1910
Historical and Architectural importance: At the turn of the
century, Altamont, at the base of the Helderbergs, became a popular
summer retreat and many fine summer homes were built in the area.
This outstanding Colonial Revival style structure was built as a
summer home on the side of the Helderberg escarpment. The house
remains unaltered and is a significant reminder of the lifestyle and
wealth that Altamont once enjoyed.
