tural community; its association with
<br />prominent 20th century resident and
<br />scholar of American decorative arts,
<br />Charles F. Montgomery; and its
<br />embodiment of distinctive characteris-
<br />tics of Connecticut domestic architec-
<br />ture of the 1740s and 1750s. The
<br />National Register boundary corre-
<br />sponds to the legal block and lot
<br />description of the property. Verbal
<br />boundary description: The nomi-
<br />nated property includes the house,
<br />outbuildings, and associated lot
<br />known as 40 Jones Road, shown as
<br />Map 085, Block 003, Lot 017 in the
<br />Wallingford Assessor's records and
<br />recorded in the land records in
<br />Volume 544, page 476. Boundary
<br />justification: The boundary includes
<br />the farm house, outbuildings, and
<br />farm yard that have historically been
<br />part of the Jones farm and that
<br />maintain historical integrity. Adjoin-
<br />ing parcels of the original farm have
<br />been excluded because they have been
<br />subdivided and developed into a
<br />residential neighborhood.
<br />Chris Poldberg Farmstead, Shelby
<br />County, Iowa, includes a house, barn,
<br />hog house, poultry house, machine
<br />shed, cob house, granary, and metal
<br />grain bin. The farmstead was estab-
<br />lished in the early 20th century by
<br />Danish immigrants. The house is
<br />situated on the south side of the
<br />cluster of farmstead buildings and
<br />structures, with the cob house situ-
<br />ated off the rear of the house within
<br />the yard. The west side of the cluster
<br />consists of the poultry house, machine
<br />shed, and barn, with the grain bin,
<br />granary, and hog house forming the
<br />north side of the cluster. A dirt lane
<br />extends into the farmstead from the
<br />gravel road, bisecting the cluster
<br />between north and south halves.
<br />Historically, the entire area west,
<br />south, and east of the house had a
<br />dense tree cover. The property's
<br />section, township, and range descrip-
<br />tion is used to locate the property;
<br />reasonable limits and cultural features
<br />(roads) are used to define the Na-
<br />tional Register boundaries. Verbal
<br />boundary description: The topo-
<br />graphic location of the nominated
<br />property is as follows according to the
<br />USGS quadrangle map, Prairie Rose
<br />Lake, Iowa 1978: E'/4, SE 1/4,
<br />SE 1/4, NE' /4 of Section 27, T79N,
<br />R37W, Jackson Township, Shelby
<br />County, Iowa. The specific property
<br />boundary is described as follows:
<br />Beginning at a point 10 feet north of
<br />the hog house and starting at the west
<br />Plumbush, Philipstown, New York. Tax map showing the National Register
<br />boundaries.
<br />edge of the gravel road proceed west
<br />300 feet, turn south for 300 feet, turn
<br />east for 300 feet to the west edge of
<br />the road, and turn north for 300 feet to
<br />the point of beginning. Boundary
<br />justification: The boundary of the
<br />nominated property includes that
<br />portion of the historic farm holdings
<br />that encompasses all of the buildings
<br />and structures of the farmstead itself.
<br />Plumbush, Putman County, New
<br />York, consists of two contributing
<br />buildings, a mid -I9th century farm-
<br />house and an associated wood house.
<br />The original carriage house has been
<br />extensively remodeled for use as a
<br />garage and is, therefore, noncontrib-
<br />uting, as is a modern two -story house,
<br />which is separated from Plumbush by
<br />a wooded area. The surrounding
<br />neighborhood is Waal, with few
<br />residences located nearby. The
<br />property is bounded on the north,
<br />northeast, and south by the Cold
<br />Spring Cemetery; on the west by
<br />Route 91); on the south by Moffet
<br />Road; and on the east by private
<br />property. Much of the original 65-
<br />acre farm has been subdivided, and
<br />extensive infrll has destroyed the
<br />historical integrity and setting of the
<br />larger farm. The limits of the tax
<br />parcel that includes the eligible
<br />resources define the boundaries of the
<br />National Register property. Verbal
<br />boundary description: Plumbush is
<br />located on the east side of Route 9D
<br />between the intersections of Peekskill
<br />and Moffet roads. The nominated
<br />property includes two adjacent tax
<br />parcels which comprise 9.3 acres as
<br />shown on accompanying tax map.
<br />Boundary justification: Historically,
<br />Plumbush was part of a 65 -acre farm
<br />owned by Robert Parker Parrott.
<br />Over time, much of the property was
<br />subdivided and sold off. Extensive
<br />modern infill on the original farm
<br />acreage has destroyed the historical
<br />integrity and setting of the larger
<br />farm. The 9.3 -acre nominated prop-
<br />erty is all that remains of the original
<br />farm associated with the house.
