The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues significance under Criterion C as a highly intact Greek Revival residence of the early nineteenth century in rural Madison County. Its U-shaped plan, single room depth and carriage barn hidden within the footprint make it one of the most unusual buildings of its period in the region. It also has ties to Angel DeFerriere, an early French settler of the area.","narrative":"Set on a slight rise along Genesee Street (Route 5) in Oneida, this one-and-one-half-story Greek Revival house dates to about 1832. From the road it looks like a square, monumental building, with clapboard bays divided by wide pilasters, a heavy Doric entablature, eyebrow windows and a Gothic-inspired entry porch. The rear tells a different story: the house is actually U-shaped, only one room deep, and has plain, undecorated walls facing an interior courtyard. A carriage barn is concealed within the footprint, disguised by a blind window on the west side. The house has just one chimney and fireplace, suggesting warm-weather use. It stands on land of Angel DeFerriere, a French émigré who settled in the area, married Polly Dennie and built up holdings of about 3,000 acres before dying in 1832. The house is valued as a highly intact and unusual example of its period, and it is undergoing restoration.","period_of_significance":"c. 1832-1956","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single-family dwelling; the nomination says it is undergoing restoration.
