Hallock. It is also known as The Pillars.","why_significant":"The nomination cites Criterion A for the house's link to the Bath Village Multiple Resource Area context and to the Hallock and Hubbell families, who were prominent in the village's banking and civic life. It cites Criterion C for a Greek Revival house updated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to a Colonial Revival appearance. The form states that the house retains a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1847 at 16 West William Street in Bath, this two-story house began as a T-shaped Greek Revival building with a full-height columned portico and one-story wings. It was the home of George W. Hallock, a local banker who co-founded the George W. Hallock Bank in 1849 with his father-in-law, William S. Hubbell, a one-term U.S. congressman. Three generations of Hallocks lived here until 1914, when the family lost the house and the bank to bankruptcy. In the late nineteenth century an east addition with a covered entrance was built, and the wings were raised and given a new roof, giving the house a neoclassic, Colonial Revival look. Inside, original paneled molding, beaded wainscoting and early mantels survive. After five owners between 1914 and 1996, a not-for-profit housing organization acquired it and uses it for offices and meetings. The house was listed for its connection to Bath's development and for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1847-1954","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Other: Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently used as office and meeting space for a not-for-profit organization; the interior retains much historic character.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:54.046859-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/04001052.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04001052/d94ab201af-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04001052/d94ab201af-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hallock_House_Oct_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hallock_House_Oct_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314731","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Hallock_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5545634"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/steuben-county/hallock-george-w-house-04001052/"}
