It was the home of the Jackson and Perkins families from 1864 to 1935 and was remodeled in c1921-22.","why_significant":"The property is significant for its link to the Jackson and Perkins Company, one of the largest and best-known horticultural firms in the United States. The estate served as company headquarters from 1873 until 1935, with the library as the main office and propagation experiments on site. The house also reflects two construction periods and the work of architects Stephen N. Keener and E.A.P. Krabbenschmidt.","narrative":"This two-and-a-half-story stucco house with applied half-timbering and a red terra-cotta tile roof sits on a 2.66-acre lot on High Street in Newark, New York. Albert E. Jackson and his son-in-law Charles H. Perkins bought the property in 1864, and in 1873 they founded the Jackson and Perkins Company there. The firm grew into one of the best-known horticultural businesses in the country, famed for roses such as the award-winning Dorothy Perkins. For decades the house served as company headquarters, with the library used as the main office and propagation experiments carried out on the grounds. The building was built or heavily remodeled around 1880 and again in 1921-22, when George C. Perkins moved in. It keeps its late nineteenth-century size, form and floor plan, along with early twentieth-century stucco, battens and a new roof. A carriage house, a greenhouse foundation, mature trees, a pond with fountain and other landscape remnants also survive.","period_of_significance":"c1880-c1935","architect_builder":"Stephen N.
