ALBANY – The State Board of Historic Preservation has recommended two Columbia County properties to the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
The Muldor-Miller House, a federal and Greek Revival farmhouse, with its unusual stone construction, was built circa 1790 and is a rare surviving example of an early house in Claverack.
Long associated with the Muldor-Miller family, the property also has ties to the region’s Dutch colonial period and the history of enslaved labor. It also represents the transition from agricultural economy to country living in the twentieth century.
Red Rock Schoolhouse, built circa 1830 and serving as an active educational site through 1943, is an example of an early 19th century vernacular Greek Revival style one-room schoolhouse and represents the history of education in rural Red Rock.
Listings on the State and National Registers can assist owners in revitalizing properties, making them eligible for various public preservation programs and ongoing investigation services, such as matching state grants and state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits.
