It stands on a rural lot with a sugar house and a chicken coop.","why_significant":"The house is presented as a rare, little-altered early National Period vernacular dwelling that combines a New England Cape form with Federal details, built in tooled local limestone, a material essentially unknown in New England for the period. It is also tied to the Wood family, early settlers and locally prominent figures for whom nearby Woodville is named.","narrative":"Built in 1825 by settlers from Connecticut, this one-and-a-half-story house on County Route 120 in the Town of Ellisburg, Jefferson County, is a rare example of stone construction in a New England form. Its five-bay main block and attached ell are laid in regular courses of tooled limestone said to have been quarried on the property. A frame upper story was added to the ell in the 1880s, and a two-story frame service block stands at the rear. Inside, the house keeps stenciling in the foyer, a boxed stair with square balusters, an arched parlor alcove, forged iron hardware and original wooden shingles preserved under the roof. It was the home of Amos Wood, a member of the Wood family who settled the area after 1804 and ran sawmills, a tavern, mills and a store. The family's name survives in nearby Woodville. The house is listed for its architecture and its link to early settlement; it stayed in family hands until 1939.","period_of_significance":"1826-1939","architect_builder":"Unknown.","architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Listed in use as a single dwelling, both historically and currently.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:47.890062-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/11001000.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318298","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_Wood_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4747969"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/jefferson-county/wood-amos-house-11001000/"}
