Jayne from designs by W.F. Sharp. The property also includes an original garage, brick pillars and a brick driveway.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding example of early twentieth-century residential architecture in Webster, combining Queen Anne massing with Colonial Revival decoration and built with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. It is also tied to William C. Jayne, a banker and village leader who served as village president.","narrative":"Built in 1917-1918 at 183 East Main Street in Webster, this large brick house was designed by W.F. Sharp for banker and village leader William C. Jayne and his wife Etta. It combines simple Queen Anne massing, including a round corner tower, with Colonial Revival detailing. Narrow Roman brick, cast stone, stucco, wood trim and red ceramic roof tiles give it a distinctive look, and a full-width porch and porte cochère mark the front. Inside, original features include stained glass, cast plaster ceilings, tile fireplace surrounds and hexagonal pantry and kitchen floors. A matching garage, brick pillars and a brick driveway with cast stone curbs also survive. Jayne co-founded the Jayne and Mason bank, served as village president from 1910, and sat on the school board for twenty years. The house is a more elaborate version of his partner George Mason's 1910 house, and it is regarded as one of Webster's finest early twentieth-century homes.","period_of_significance":"1917-1918","architect_builder":"W.F.
