ALBANY – The New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended adding three area properties to the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
Among them is Fairview Manor in Columbia County, also known as the Alonzo and Mary E. Flack House in Claverack.
Built around 1870, the house epitomizes the high-style architecture favored by elite New Yorkers in the Hudson Valley and shares many similarities with the designs of other houses associated by Calvert Vaux, such as its complex massing, asymmetrical plan, and extensive, sophisticated architectural ornament.
All Souls’ Church Summer Camp Historic District in the Sullivan County Town of Liberty was established in 1954 to provide summer camp experiences for black children in Harlem who were excluded from or unable to afford other summer camp options available to children living in New York City.
Webutuck Agricultural Valley Historic District in Dutchess County and Litchfield County, Connecticut.
The district is in the Town of Amenia with a small section in the Town of Sharon, Connecticut.
Encompassing a rural community of about 30 farmsteads and three small hamlets – Leedsville, Amenia Union, and South Amenia, the 3,800-acre district represents the valley’s evolving agricultural and cultural history since the establishment of the Amenia Union Cemetery in 1735.
