Description and historyIt is a two-story, nearly square limestone block residence in the Federal style, and was built in 1812 by Benjamin Bowen (1759-1824) who came from Rhode Island with the financial backing of his brothers, Dr. William Bowen and Ephraim Bowen Esq. to establish a saw mill, a grist mill, a distillery, and the Newport Cotton Manufacturing Co. along the banks of the West Canada Creek using a dam and diversion canal. Bowen left Newport for Tennessee after suffering financial losses in 1815. His daughter, Lydia, eventually acquired the property and it was subsequently passed down through the generations through her oldest stepson, Standish Barry Jr., until 1944. Since then the house has had a new family about every ten years.[2] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1998.[1] Also on the property is a stone smokehouse.[2] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} {{National Register of Historic Places in New York}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bowen, Benjamin, House}}{{HerkimerCountyNY-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=2796|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Benjamin Bowen House|author=Raymond W.
