Thanks much for your time and interest in helping add our home to the historic register. Listening to you as we
inspected was illuminating.
Attached is a revised version of our house notes, including things we have learned since 2011 and some of your
comments.

Notes on the George Young Farmhouse*
The house was built sometime between 1850 and 1870 by one of the many offspring of the Young
family, an original North Fork settler clan. It was a basic foursquare farmhouse—four rooms
downstairs (front and back parlors, dining room and small kitchen; probably had a center hall
connecting all) and four bedrooms rooms upstairs. Several stoves fed into a central chimney
(now closed up) that heated the house and may have been used for cooking.
The house was the hub of a farm that encompassed a significant area on both sides of Main Road.
There was a barn and other outbuildings behind the house. These were still here through the
1960s as can be seen in aerial photos at historicaerials.com.
Sometime between 1905 and 1915, the house was "modernized," from farmhouse to neo-colonial.
The center hall was removed, and an elegant curved wall shaped the dining room. The front and
back parlor were joined into one large living room. The main staircase was redone (but still too
small to navigate a queen-sized box spring). Central heating, knob and tube electricity and a new
fireplace were added. New windows were installed throughout, including new-fangled storm
windows on hooks. A porte-cochere was tacked on to the western side of the house, the kitchen
was expanded, and porches were added to the back.
The floors were redone on both levels, oak strips in a decorative pattern downstairs and maple
upstairs. The house was probably jacked up and a concrete foundation poured over and around
the original fieldstone base. These were the days before plywood, and the imprint of wooden
planking can be seen in the basement walls.
A few changes were made in the 1950s or `60s, and a library/piano room/family room (depending
on your sensibilities) was added behind the living room. Around 1999, the house was bought
from the Young family and modernization, Round Two, began. The new owners added additional
support beams, replaced all the old wiring and plumbing, added insulation and undertook a
massive landscaping project. Additional improvements were made to the upstairs bedroom areas,
adding a walk-in closet and an en suite bath. But throughout they preserved the old moldings,
windows and doors, maintaining the style of the early 20th century.
Since arriving, we have made a few small changes, adding a mudroom and a full bath on the main
floor, some lighting fixtures to reflect the era(s) of the house, restoration of push-button light
switches (but up to code), a kitchen island. We hope any additional changes will add comfort but
continue the charm that is an old house.
The remaining property is just short of two acres. What was given up in land was regained in
great neighbors, both families and farms.
These notes are bused on information vd,e have gleaned in the years we have owned this house,
and are founded on questionable sources and our oven imagination. We welcome corrective input
ftom anyone who knows better. July, 2020
