The property is also tied to Myron A. Jordan, an architect from the Jordan family who owned it from 1913. The nominated resources also reflect the property's past as a mill site and later electric power company site.","narrative":"Near the west end of Richfield Springs, a two-story, four-bay, square-plan house with a hipped roof sits on the south side of Main Street. Built between 1810 and 1835, it stands out in a neighborhood of mostly later nineteenth and early twentieth century homes. A rear ell was added around 1830-1850, and a leanto, first a woodshed, was remodeled for living space about 1939. Inside are a simple stair hall, Greek Revival doors and moldings, and a parlor with the most elaborate window trim. Next door, a small gambrel-roofed house with Queen Anne details was built about 1888, probably for the engineer of the Richfield Springs Electric Light and Power Company, which also owned the former mill property. Peter Jordan, a general contractor, bought the property in 1913 and 1914. His son Myron A. Jordan, a Syracuse-trained architect, later worked with the family business and remodeled parts of the house in the 1930s.","period_of_significance":"c1810-c1960","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Early Republic; Late nineteenth-early twentieth century revivals","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Both buildings are described as retaining a very high level of integrity; current functions listed are single dwelling and professional commerce.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.368901-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000796.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75320996","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnicliff-Jordan_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7853346"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/otsego-county/tunnicliff-jordan-house-10000796/"}
