It notes distinctive features such as a sandstone-color wash found on only one other county house, and a high level of integrity in the house, barn and setting. The significance statement itself is cut off in the text provided.","narrative":"Built in 1849 for Orson Butterfield, this Greek Revival house in Holley, Orleans County, is faced with lake-washed cobblestones in shades mostly of gray, with squared limestone quoins at the corners. A date stone reading 1849 sits in the front gable, and a peak stone in the rear gable carries the owner's initials. The main block rises one and one-half stories, with one-story wings to the side and rear. A recessed front porch has square columns and a decorated beam. Inside, much of the original woodwork, pine and chestnut floors and plaster walls survive. A remnant of a sandstone-colored wash, known on only one other house in the county, remains under the porch ceiling. The 26.4-acre property also holds a c. 1880s gambrel barn, a chicken coop, a relocated well house and a 1981 metal building, along with pastures, fields and an orchard. The house, barn and setting retain a high level of integrity, and the property belongs to the group of cobblestone buildings of New York State.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Orson Butterfield (original owner)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a single-family dwelling; a new north side porch was under construction and restoration work was ongoing at the time of writing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:47.84294-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000044.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000044/7c7c88adb8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000044/7c7c88adb8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Butterfield_Cobblestone_House,_Clarendon,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</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:Butterfield_Cobblestone_House,_Clarendon,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314249","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfield_Cobblestone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5002878"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orleans-county/butterfield-cobblestone-house-10000044/"}
