History

Richmond Hill was built in 1814 for Walter Livingston. The estate includes a large Federal style residence dating to 1813–1814, ten contributing related outbuildings, and one contributing structure. The main house is a two-story, rectangular brick block with a gable roof and slightly protruding three bay pavilion. Also on the property is a large Dutch barn, two smaller barns, carriage house, privy, shop, shed, and well.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

gollark: Consider the difficulty of having to collect then dispose of/recycle "spent" solar panels ~30 years after deployment.
gollark: One problem with solar/wind is that (like most things) they degrade over time (lithium ion batteries, which you could end up needing many of, especially fast), and would be in remote locations in huge quantities...
gollark: Nuclear also doesn't take up much land, and could be way more efficient than it already is if it was actually deployed at scale and new technologies got used.
gollark: The waste is basically a non problem compared to carbon dioxide and they run constantly.
gollark: Nuclear is far superior to foolish wind/solar.
