Glenfields, the former Archibald Gracie King House, is located on Old Manitou Road, a short distance from NY 9D, south of Garrison in the Town of Philipstown, New York, United States. It is a simple late 19th-century frame house with some unusual windows. King was a descendant of Rufus King and other early New York power brokers who had married a descendant of the area's pre-Revolutionary landowners. He built the house, from a design by a local architectural firm, as a summer residence overlooking the nearby Hudson River. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Hudson Highlands Multiple Resource Area. ==Building== Glenfields is a two-story structure with clapboard siding, a partially exposed granite basement and a gabled roof with boxed cornice. Two granite chimneys, slightly offset, rise from the center.〔 Windows on the east (front) facade are double-hung sash with an unusual 6-over-2 design, framed by molded lintels and plain sills. The central porch is supported by Doric columns, with a pedimented entablature. A double-tiered veranda on the west (rear) side has a shed roof supported by simples posts with a plain railing. The basement on that side has windows with brick surrounds.〔 A two-story wing projects from the south elevation. It has the same window treatment as the main block, but has a hipped roof.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenfields (Philipstown, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
