The one-acre property also includes a carriage barn and a non-contributing shed.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its association with the early life of Susan B. Anthony, the nationally significant social reformer and women's rights advocate, who lived here from age thirteen to nineteen. The form says her social attitudes and future path as a reformer were partly shaped by her experiences during these years. It also has architectural value as a late Federal and early Greek Revival house later updated in the Italianate style.","narrative":"Susan B. Anthony spent her teenage years, from age thirteen to nineteen, in this brick house in the rural hamlet of Battenville, Washington County, New York. Her family had it built between 1832 and 1833, and the experiences she had here helped shape her path as a social reformer and women's rights advocate. The house is about 30 feet square, with load-bearing brick walls, a stone foundation and a gabled roof. Its original design combines late Federal and early Greek Revival features, including a Federal-style entrance with sidelights and transom. After the Civil War the house was updated with Italianate paired brackets, door hoods, a arched verandah and new interior finishes. A later frame wing was replaced in 1991, and the windows are modern replacements. A carriage barn stands on the one-acre lot. Nearby buildings tied to the Anthony family's years in Battenville also survive.","period_of_significance":"c. 1832-c. 1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Late Victorian: Italianate","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function are both single dwelling.
