It was built about 1841 and renovated about 1863.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant because it combines styles from successive generations of the McClintock family who occupied it until the 1950s. The original Greek Revival design still prevails despite later additions. Its interior Greek Revival woodwork is adapted with Victorian fixtures, mirrors and a library with Gothic touches.","narrative":"Built about 1841, probably for the Wilkes-Barre lawyer Andrew T. McClintock, this two and one-half story brick house has a Greek Revival main block with three bays across, six-over-six sashes and a later one-story entrance vestibule. Its hallway and stairway retain Greek Revival woodwork, including wide plain door moldings and stair balustrades of early nineteenth century design. About 1863, F.C. Withers of the New York firm Vaux and Withers renovated the house, adding Victorian dormers and a one-story library on the south side. The library has walnut panelling, bookcases and a vaulted ceiling with a stained glass skylight, and it reflects Gothic touches. The house is valued for combining the styles added by each generation of the McClintock family, who lived there until the 1950s, while keeping its original design largely intact.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1841","architect_builder":"F.C.
