It was part of land bought by General Jacob Morris, passed to the Lull family in 1836-1838, and shows the area's dairy farming history. The house keeps much of its original character despite later changes.","narrative":"Morris-Lull Farm is a 139-acre working farm landscape on Peet Road, a mile and a half from the village of Morris in Otsego County, New York. Its centerpiece is Elmwood, a two-story, five-bay Federal style rubble stone house, probably built in the early 1820s for Jacob Walton Morris, a tanner and currier and son of General Jacob Morris. The interior keeps original pine floors, a butternut banister, and fireplace surrounds with pilasters, dentil moldings, urns and ovals. The farm passed to the Lull family in the 1830s; Nathan Lull received the present parcel in 1838 and ran a dairy farm producing butter and cheese. Other features include an early twentieth-century gambrel-roofed barn, a privy, the remains of a mill race, old foundations, and cultivated fields. The property was listed for its connection to the settlement and agricultural development of Morris and Butternuts, and for the house's architecture. The house retains a high level of integrity despite later alterations.","period_of_significance":"c1820-1951","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house has been continuously occupied since its 1820s construction and fields remain under cultivation; several outbuildings are deteriorated or demolished.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.903008-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05001389.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320962","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris%E2%80%93Lull_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6913572"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/otsego-county/morris-lull-farm-05001389/"}
