It was built in the late 1830s and remodeled around 1874 and in 1910.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is significant under Criterion C in architecture because it retains features from several periods as it was remodeled to serve as a summer cottage. It is also significant under Criterion A in recreation, tied to the 1874 subdivision of the surrounding 93-acre farm into lots promoted for boating, fishing and other recreation. Its historic integrity relates to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century form.","narrative":"Cottage Farm is a seasonal house on Richmond Avenue in Fair Haven, a village on Little Sodus Bay along Lake Ontario in Cayuga County, New York. Built in the late 1830s for Thomas Phoenix, it has a low hipped roof that extends over full-width verandas on the street and bay sides, with a smaller hipped center block above. An 1858 railroad prospectus illustration provides the earliest documented evidence of the house. After a court-ordered sale in 1874, John N. Knapp repaired it, gave it a new roof and windows, and added a kitchen wing. The Turner family bought it in 1884 and in 1910 removed the kitchen wing, which was moved closer to the bay as another summer cottage. Early Greek Revival moldings survive inside. The house was listed for its architecture, as a remodeled vacation cottage, and for its link to the village's long tradition as a recreation destination, begun when the surrounding farm was subdivided into lots in 1874.","period_of_significance":"1858-1910","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Folk Victorian","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Used as a seasonal residence; historic and current function is domestic/residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:47.918675-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/12000952.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12000952/2f0fab650c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12000952/2f0fab650c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Doncram","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cottage_Farm_in_Fair_Haven_NY.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doncram</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:Cottage_Farm_in_Fair_Haven_NY.jpeg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316697","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottage_Farm_(Fair_Haven,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23091481"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/cayuga-county/cottage-farm-12000952/"}
