The builder is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a substantially intact, representative example of cobblestone construction in Seneca County, typical of the Middle Period (ca. 1835-1845). It is also an intact example of vernacular Greek Revival domestic architecture. Its cobblestone walls, limestone quoins, lintels and sills survive virtually intact.","narrative":"Set in the rural town of Junius in northwest Seneca County, this L-shaped cobblestone farmhouse is believed to date from the early 1840s. The one-and-one-half-story main block and a one-story kitchen wing are built of variously colored field cobbles laid on a slight diagonal, with limestone quoins and smooth stone lintels and sills. Wide flat-arched lintels, exaggerated cornice returns and a trabeated entrance give it vernacular Greek Revival character. Inside, the main block keeps a Greek Revival mantel, wide-plank floors and paneled trim. A cobblestone smokehouse is joined to the rear by a woodshed. The house was listed for its architecture. It is a well-preserved example of cobblestone building from the Middle Period of that technique, in a county where about 18 of 20 buildings recorded in 1979 survive. The builder and early occupants are unknown. The surviving 4.3 acres are what remains of a 100-acre farm.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1840s","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival (vernacular, cobblestone construction)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the property is now 4.3 acres of a former 100-acre farmstead, and only the cobblestone smokehouse survives of the farm outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.235917-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/07001017.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001017/3748250073-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001017/3748250073-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JuniusNY_1027StoneChurchRoad.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Magicpiano</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JuniusNY_1027StoneChurchRoad.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314638","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobblestone_Farmhouse_at_1027_Stone_Church_Road","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5138812"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/seneca-county/cobblestone-farmhouse-at-1027-stone-church-rd-07001017/"}
