Benjamin Franklin Gates House
Benjamin Franklin Gates House, Greek Revival house in Barre, New York, United States.
The Benjamin Franklin Gates House features vertical wooden planks forming load-bearing walls and a cobblestone-faced foundation topped with cedar shingle gabled roof.
Built in 1831, this residence belonged to Benjamin Franklin Gates, who established the first tannery in Barre and expanded his land from 10 to 29 acres.
The building represents the architectural shift in early American design, incorporating Greek temple elements during a period of growing national identity.
The property maintains seven acres of cultivated farmland and includes multiple structures such as the main house, carriage barn, and additional outbuildings.
The house construction employs an unusual stacked-plank structural system, making it different from typical frame buildings of the period.
