"...the present farmhouse and outbuildings were clearly built about 1840 judging from a careful inspection of style and construction. The farmhouse exemplifies the front-gable side ell house type, common in New York State in the period between 1830 and 1870, in its proportions and architectural detailing The Albert Slingerland Farmhouse stands out as one of the few historic farmhouses which retains its full complement of historic dependencies and largely unaltered setting."(Submitted on April 26, 2024, by Trudi Jacobson of Slingerlands, New York.)
