It retains a high level of interior integrity, including bold classical ornament in the living room. It is also associated with Scottsville businessmen who rented it to workers and with village tradesmen who later owned and lived in it.","narrative":"Built around 1830 on a small lot at 69 Main Street in Scottsville, this one-story frame cottage was first owned by Simeon Sage, who bought the land from local entrepreneur James Cox in 1827. The five-bay house has a shallow gable roof, clapboard siding, rubble stone foundation and six-over-six windows. Greek Revival touches, including the front door surround and the living room mantel and trim, were probably added in the 1840s or 1850s. Over time the cottage was owned by prominent village businessmen who likely rented it to employees, then by tradesmen and craftsmen such as a butcher, painters and a carriage painter, who lived there from the 1840s into the twentieth century. It was restored in the late 1980s and 1990s, and a meeting room addition was built in 2000. The house is now a museum. It was listed for its architecture as a well-preserved example of a modest working-class home of the period, with notable interior integrity.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1830 - ca. 1860","architect_builder":"Simeon Sage, first owner","architectural_style":"Federal; Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current function is museum (recreation and culture); restored in the late 1980s and 1990s and expanded with an educational and meeting room addition in 2000.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.668657-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/09001285.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09001285/6d6c3ba6c9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09001285/6d6c3ba6c9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"rogerhogle","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simeon_Sage_House_2012-09-20_17-21-36.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">rogerhogle</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simeon_Sage_House_2012-09-20_17-21-36.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318924","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_Sage_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7517646"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/monroe-county/sage-simeon-house-09001285/"}
