Gilbertsville New York Cliff Holm Real Photo Postcard

Cliff Holm, constructed around 1852 for Henry L. Gilbert, son of Gilbertsville, New York's founder Abner Gilbert, stands as a notable example of Italianate residential architecture. This style, prevalent in the mid-19th century, is evident in the house's low-pitched roof, deep eaves with decorative brackets, and tall, narrow windows, reflecting the affluent tastes of its original owner in a burgeoning rural community.
