Chimney cupboard!
I’d never even heard of that before, had to look it up. 🙂
I want to know more about this gorgeous house! I know there’s a story here.
Great Italianate house. Looks like it needs a new roof, based on the wallpaper. I wonder what the view is like from the lovely hill it sits atop.
This is the hamlet of Brookfield NY, another little spot misplaced by the Postal Service by sending their mail through a nearby facility:

The longtime resident here (and likely the builder) was Joseph Lamb (1804-1890):
Brookfield Courier – Wednesday, June 11, 1890
JOSEPH LAMB
Mr. Joseph Lamb, whose death occurred at his residence in this village on Sunday morning last, was one of our oldest and best-known citizens, having passed the eighty-eighth milestone of life’s journey on the day of his death. Mr. Lamb was the son of Captain Asa Lamb, a hero of the Revolutionary War, and last of a family of ten children. He was a life-long resident of Brookfield, his death occurring within a few miles of the place where he was born. In his early manhood he followed the plow and tilled the soil, with untiring industry accumulating a competency sufficient for all his declining years which have been passed in this village. The deceased was twice married. His first wife was Polly, daughter of William Greene of this town, who died some twelve or fifteen years ago; the second union was with Miss Laura Briggs, who still survives.
The funeral services were held at his late residence Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. Cheeseman. The remains were buried beside his first wife in the village cemetery.
That slide show was beautiful! Thank you!
We bought this house in April of this year. We are renovating and would love any information you have on the house, any pictures you may have or any information you can find! Curious as to where you found the information that Joseph Lamb built the house? The historical society here in town have very very little information on the house. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!
Congrats on the house, Sue! I’ve never seen the house and know nothing about it except the quick research I did. The owner is noted as J. Lamb on the old Clarkville map. I identified him from census data and found his grave, then his obituary in the newspaper archive. You should be able to find the deeds online or in county records.
It looks like a great old house with lots of stories to tell!

This house deserves an owner who will treat it and love it like Joseph Lamb obviously did … and the price, wow…not prepared to change citizenship but I would sure love to honour this house, and I pray the new owner is capable to wear Mr. Lamb’s shoes.
This home has a lot to offer. Some TLC, and this place would really shine.
Oh my. Such hope in this beauty. Get to that roof before the walls “melt” anymore!
