This Colonial-style Upper Nyack, NY, home, which is now on the market for $499,000, was built in the mid-19th century and was formerly owned by the late Charles H. Warner Jr. — an architect whose archives are stored at Columbia University.

He added a modern extension in 1930; another addition was added in the 1980s. The property features five bedrooms, three bathrooms and 3,583 square feet — all on 0.28 acres.

Warner’s son, the late Peter Warner, who was president of the World’s Fair Collectors Society, added many unusual touches to the home — including phone booths and lampposts from the 1964-1965 fair in Flushing.

While these items are excluded from the sale of the house, they can be purchased separately.

“Fairs are important benchmarks in history, places where new ideas, new inventions are presented,” the younger Warner once told the New York Times.

The seller is the Rev. Canon Bruce W. Woodcock — Episcopal Church partnership officer for Asia and the Pacific and interim pastor at St. Mary’s-in-Tuxedo, in Tuxedo Park, NY — and his wife, Thayer Woodcock.

The listing brokers are Jacob Matthews and Gino Silvestri of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty.
