It is one of a small number of the city's 75 stone houses remodeled in the Colonial Revival style without compromising the integrity of the original stone walls. It is tied to the historic context of stone architecture in Lockport from 1821 to 1909.","narrative":"Built around 1870 as an Italianate stone residence on High Street in Lockport, this house was later remodeled in the Colonial Revival style around 1900, while its original Gasport limestone walls were left unaltered. Mary Eliza Chase, a widow, is credited with building it; it later passed to David Hubbard, a book and shoe dealer, and in 1896 to Albert E. Williams, whose family ran the Williams Brothers department store. The Williams family lived there until 1958, when the Presbytery of Buffalo and Niagara bought it for a nursing home. Exterior features include a wraparound porch with round columns, a leaded-glass transom and sidelights at the entrance, and a prominent dormer. Inside, the entrance hall, a detailed staircase, two parlors with elaborate fireplaces and a large second-floor suite survive. It is listed for architecture, as one of few Lockport stone houses successfully updated in the Colonial Revival manner.","period_of_significance":"c. 1870-c. 1900","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently part of the Lockport Presbyterian Home complex, used as a nursing home; the interior keeps its circa 1900 Colonial Revival floor plan and details in the main rooms.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.563224-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/08000452.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000452/86b093d312-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000452/86b093d312-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chase-Hubbard-Williams_House_Jun_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chase-Hubbard-Williams_House_Jun_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313971","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase-Hubbard-Williams_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5087069"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/niagara-county/chase-hubbard-williams-house-08000452/"}
