A two-car garage of about the same date is also on the property.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding example of early 20th century residential architecture in Avon, combining Colonial Revival style with Arts and Crafts influence. It was designed by the prominent architect Claude Bragdon for a local banker and businessman. No other house built in Avon at the time matched its quality of design and materials. It also retains a high degree of integrity inside and out.","narrative":"Built in 1908 at 255 Genesee Street in Avon, New York, this square, shingle-clad frame house was designed by Rochester architect Claude Bragdon for J. Francis Kellogg, a local banker and businessman. It rises two and a half stories under a flat-topped hipped roof with dormers. A colonnaded front porch with a broken pediment, a north porte-cochère, and a rear two-story porch with a screened sleeping porch give each side its own character. The foundation is textured bluestone, and the siding alternates two shingle widths. Inside, the house has classical detailing, a decorative plaster dining room ceiling, Grueby tile, and original fixtures. It was listed for architecture because it blends Colonial Revival composition with Arts and Crafts attention to quality materials and craftsmanship. The nomination states that no other house built in Avon at the time matched its design and materials, and that it keeps a high degree of integrity. A contemporary two-car garage also stands on the lot.","period_of_significance":"1908","architect_builder":"Bragdon, Claude","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling; the form says the house retains a high degree of integrity, with a few alterations to the porte-cochère, entrance steps, and kitchen and pantry.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.841283-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/03000511.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000511/917bcdd003-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000511/917bcdd003-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J._Francis_Kellogg_House_Aug_10.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J._Francis_Kellogg_House_Aug_10.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100007683","name":"Avon Village Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/avon-village-historic-district-100007683/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318663","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Francis_Kellogg_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6105711"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/livingston-county/kellogg-j-francis-house-03000511/"}
