It is also significant for its association with the Brockport Normal School, later the State University College at Brockport, which used it as the principals' and presidents' residence (Criterion A). The house and its circa 1900 renovations reflect the prosperity of late nineteenth-century Brockport as a manufacturing and educational center.","narrative":"Built in 1877 at 75 College Street in Brockport, New York, this wood-frame house on a stone foundation was the home of Edward Harrison, a merchant tailor and clothier who employed as many as 200 workers in the early 1880s. It has a three-story main block and a two-story rear wing under steeply pitched slate mansard roofs, with curved-top windows, carved lintels and a projecting bay on the east side. Local decorator David Bruce painted the interior. Colonial Revival changes, likely made around 1898, include a leaded-glass entrance, an interior alcove with Tuscan columns and a tiled fireplace. The State of New York bought the house in 1898, and it served as the residence for the adjacent Normal School's principals from 1898 to 1942 and later for the college's presidents. It is regarded as an intact example of Second Empire residential design in a canal town that prospered through farm machinery manufacturing. Today it serves as the Brockport Alumni House, furnished in early 20th-century style.","period_of_significance":"1877 - ca. 1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"French Second Empire; Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a social meeting hall for the alumni association; the interior has been decorated in early 20th-century style with period furniture.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.726831-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000854.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000854/9bfdca54b2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000854/9bfdca54b2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EDWARD_HARRISON_HOUSE,_BROCKPORT,_MONROE_COUNTY,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</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:EDWARD_HARRISON_HOUSE,_BROCKPORT,_MONROE_COUNTY,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318836","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Harrison_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23091768"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/monroe-county/harrison-edward-house-10000854/"}
